Meetings of the Board

5.—(3) (a) The Board shall at all times have power to act notwithstanding any vacancy among their members, and may appoint committees and may, subject to the provisions of this Scheme with respect to the application of the common seal of the Board, delegate any of their powers to any committee so appointed.

(5) All acts done at any meetings of the Board or of any committee thereof shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment, election or qualification of any person purporting to be a member of the Board or the committee, or that a member of the Board had voted upon any question upon which he was not entitled to vote, be as valid as if that defect had not existed.

(6) The Board shall cause minutes to be made, in books provided for the purpose, of all resolutions and proceedings of meetings of the Board, or any committee thereof, and any such minutes, if signed by any person purporting to be the Chairman of the meeting to which they relate, or at which they are read, shall be received as conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated. The meetings to which any such minutes relate shall be presumed, until the contrary is proved, to have been regularly convened and constituted.
