Assent to resolution without meeting
24.—(1)  Where a committee appointed under section 14(1) of the Act is required to pass a resolution urgently but it is not practicable to convene a meeting of the committee for that purpose, the chairperson of the committee may send to all members of the committee a copy of the proposed resolution in writing by way of post, delivery or electronic communication, and the resolution may be assented to by the members of the committee in the manner provided in that document.
(2)  A resolution referred to in paragraph (1) which has been assented to by a simple majority of the members of the committee entitled to vote at a meeting of the committee is as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the committee duly called and held.
