The Legal Risk Score of a Consent to Short Notice of General Meeting Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- There is a risk that consenting to a shorter notice period for a general meeting might not provide sufficient time for all members to adequately prepare or adjust their schedules to attend the meeting, potentially affecting the decision-making process.
- By agreeing to pass resolutions with less than the required notice, members may not have enough time to fully consider the implications of the resolutions, which could lead to uninformed or rushed decision-making.
- This consent reduces the standard procedural safeguard of ample notice as stipulated in the company's constitution, which could set a precedent for future governance practices, potentially undermining the thoroughness of organizational processes.
