New Zealand Council of Legal Education

285: Proceedings not affected by vacancies

You could also call this:

"What happens if there are not enough members to make decisions"

Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

If you are part of the New Zealand Council of Legal Education, you should know that vacancies do not stop the Council from making decisions. You can still take actions and make decisions even if there are not enough members. This is also true if someone was not properly appointed or can no longer be a member, but you did not know this at the time.

Part 8New Zealand Council of Legal Education

285Proceedings not affected by vacancies

  1. No act or proceeding of the Council, or of any committee of the Council, or of any person acting as a member of the Council or any such committee, is invalidated merely because of a vacancy in the number of the Council or committee at the time of the act or proceeding, or of the subsequent discovery that there was some defect in the appointment of any person so acting, or that he or she was incapable of being or had ceased to be such a member.
