A person whose personal financial liability depends on the validity of a corporate resolution (such as a director facing a penalty notice) has standing as an 'interested person' under s 1322(4) of the Corporations Act. Consent to short notice under s 249H(2) need only be given before the meeting commences, not before the notice is dispatched.
