81V Effect of personal interest (1) If a member has a personal interest in a matter that is required to be disclosed under section 81U(2): (a) the member must not take part in any deliberation or decision of the Commission about the matter; and (b) the member must be disregarded for the purpose of constituting the quorum of the Commission for the deliberation or decision; and (c) the quorum for the deliberation or decision is a majority of members entitled to participate in the deliberation or decision. (2) However, a failure by a member to disclose a personal interest in a matter does not, of itself, invalidate any decision of the Commission about the matter.
