Procedure at meetings
Section 318: Quorum at meetings
564.This section replaces sections 370(4) and 370A of the 1985 Act. It sets a quorum for a meeting of one “qualifying person” in the case of a single member company and – as a default – two “qualifying persons” in any other case. Subsections (2) and (3) ensure that a member, corporate representative or proxy present at the meeting may all be “qualifying persons”, but excludes the possibility of two or more corporate representatives or proxies of the same member comprising a quorum. Under these provisions, proxies and corporate representatives do not count towards a quorum in companies with more than one member.
