330: Procedure at meetings

You could also call this:

"How licensing trust meetings are run and decisions are made"

When you are at a meeting of a licensing trust, the meeting is held at a time and place that the trust chooses, unless section 331(1) says otherwise. The president of the trust is in charge of the meeting if they are there. You decide questions at the meeting by voting, and the question is decided if most people vote for it.

The person in charge of the meeting can vote like any other member, and if the votes are tied, they get to make the final decision. This means they have an extra vote to break the tie. You can find more information about this by looking at s 204(2)–(5).

The trust follows these rules when they have meetings to make decisions about the sale and supply of alcohol.
