20. Resolutions without meetings



(1) If-

   (a)  the Board has taken reasonable steps to give notice to each member
        setting out the terms of a proposed resolution; and

   (b)  at least 4 members of the Board sign a document containing a statement
        that they are in favour of the resolution in the terms set out in the
        document-

a resolution in those terms is deemed to have been passed at a meeting of the
Board held on the day on which the document is signed or, if the members
referred to in paragraph (b) do not sign it on the same day, on the day on
which the last of those members signs the document.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), 2 or more separate documents
containing a statement in identical terms, each of which is signed by one or
more members, are deemed to constitute one document.

(3) If a resolution is deemed by this section to have been passed at a meeting
of the Board, each member must as soon as practicable be advised of the matter
and given a copy of the resolution.

(4) The members referred to in subsection (1)(b) must not include a member
who, because of section 21, is not entitled to vote on the resolution.
