Regulation 9

The Review Board may, if it thinks fit, transact any of its business by the circulation of papers among its members.

A member who is in any way, directly or indirectly, interested in the business being transacted by circulation of papers shall disclose the nature of his interest in writing to the Chairperson at the first opportunity after the relevant facts have come to his knowledge, which disclosure shall be recorded and that member shall not take part in the decision with respect to that transaction.

A decision in writing made by a simple majority of the members for the time being entitled to take part in the decision in respect thereof shall be taken to be a decision of the Review Board, and shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been made at a meeting of the Review Board duly convened and held.

Separate copies of a decision in writing may be distributed for signing by the members if the wording of the decision and approval is identical in each copy.

For the purpose of a decision under this paragraph, the Chairperson and each member shall have the same voting rights as they have at any meeting of the Review Board.

The decision of the Review Board shall be made when the last member thereof required for the majority signs and his decision is duly delivered to the secretary of the Review Board.

The Chairperson may stipulate a period of time within which a decision may be made under this regulation.

The Review Board may, if it thinks fit, deliberate on matters by the circulation of papers among its members.

For the purposes of this regulation, papers (including disclosures and decisions) may be circulated among members or delivered to the secretary of the Review Board by hand or facsimile or electronic transmission of the information in the papers concerned.
