An administrator appointed with all the functions of a Local Aboriginal Land Council under s 222(4) of the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (NSW) can satisfy provisos in a company constitution requiring 'the Council passing a resolution by a majority of 66% of the members present and voting', because the administrator exercises the Council's sole decision-making function. The members do not retain a residual voting function separate from the functions conferred on the administrator. The question whether such provisos are valid or repugnant to the ALR Act was left open.
