### sec.150ET Decisions of eligible councillors
A decision by eligible councillors may be made under section 150ER or 150ES , other than in relation to a matter mentioned in section 150EU , even if—
the number of eligible councillors is less than a majority; or
the eligible councillors do not form a quorum for the meeting.
The councillor who is the subject of the decision may remain at the meeting while the decision is made, but can not vote or otherwise participate in the making of the decision, other than by answering a question put to the councillor necessary to assist the eligible councillors to make the decision.
If the eligible councillors can not make a decision under section 150ER or 150ES , the eligible councillors are taken to have decided under section 150ES (3) (a) (ii) or (b)(ii) that the councillor must leave, and stay away from, the place where the meeting is being held while the eligible councillors discuss and vote on the matter.
A decision about a councillor under section 150ER or 150ES for a matter applies in relation to the councillor for participating in the decision, and all subsequent decisions, about the matter.
