217: How resolution may be passed after society is removed

You could also call this:

"Passing decisions after a society is removed from the register"

Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

If you are part of a society that has been removed from the register, you may still be able to pass a resolution with the Registrar's approval. You can follow the rules in subpart 6 to do this, but you need to make some changes. You will need to treat the committee and members as they were before the society was removed.
