===Example 2: Quorum at general meetings===
Let’s look at a second example, dealing with quorum at general meetings.
The relevant provision in the new ''Societies Act'' reads:
<blockquote>''Quorum
82 (1) Subject to subsections (3) and (4), the quorum for the transaction of business at a general meeting is
(a) 3 voting members, unless paragraph (b) of this subsection applies, or
(b) if the bylaws provide for a quorum greater than 3 voting members, that quorum.
(2) The bylaws of a society may, for the purposes of subsection (1) (b), provide for a quorum that is greater than 3 voting members, by doing either of the following:
(a) specifying the number of voting members that constitutes a quorum;
(b) requiring that the quorum be calculated as a specified percentage of voting members or on another basis.
(3) If a society has fewer voting members than the quorum provided for in subsection (1), the quorum for the transaction of business at a general meeting is all of the voting members.
(4) The bylaws of a society may provide that if a general meeting is adjourned until a later date because a quorum is not present, and if, at the continuation of the adjourned meeting, a quorum is again not present, the voting members present constitute a quorum for the purposes of that meeting.''</blockquote>
