91: Accidental omission does not invalidate resolution in lieu

You could also call this:

"Forgetting to send a voting paper doesn't make the decision invalid if the rules were followed."

Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

If a society accidentally forgets to send a proposed resolution to someone who is allowed to vote, it does not mean the resolution is invalid. This is because the resolution was passed under section 89. The resolution must have followed the rules in section 90 for this to apply.
