Adjournment of board meeting

Meetings 8456 views 11 replies

Hi

Section 288 says that  If a meeting of the Board could not be held for want of quorum, then, unless the articles otherwise provide, the meeting shall automatically stand adjourned till the same day in the next week, at the same time and place, or if that day is a public holiday, till the next succeeding day which is not a public holiday, at the same time and place.

 

So is it compulsory to hold meeting in next week or any other date can be provided in the notice of adjournment of meeting due to want of quorum

Hi,

I think you miss the line mentioned in the section itself==="unless the articles otherwise provide" which means such adjourned BM may be convened at any suitable time as per the AOA provisions.

 

So it is not compulsory to hold meeting in next week and any other date can be provided in the notice of BM.

 

Regards

but what if the articles are silent
 

If your Articles are silent then in that case you have to follow the mandate given by Section-288 and convene your Adjourned BM accordingly.

Alternatively for present and future course of action you may amend your AOA accordingly.

Hi
 
Adjournment of meeting for want of quorum
 
A company may by its articles makes its own provision as regards adjournment for want of quorum.
 
Sub-section (1) does not say what is to become of the adjourn meeting, if there be no quorum at the meeting also.
 
If your articles silent on that matter then u must hold the adjourned meeting on the next week on the same day, at the same time and place or if that day is a public holiday, till the next succeeding day which is not a public holiday, at the same time and place.

Is it not possible to issue a notice of adjournment of meeting to all directors and further mention that the next date of adjourned meeting would be intimated shortly, is not enough

 

 

 
 
 
Section 288 specially deal with meeting adjourned for want of  quorum and the company can issue notice of adjourned meeting if your company’s article provide such clause otherwise u must hold the adjourned meeting on the next week on the same day.

 

But sir....If the available members decide the next day of the Adjourned Meeting ...which may be 1 day after the date fixed under the section...wont that do?????
