Commons Management Act 1989

A trust must, at least 14 days before the date fixed for the holding of a general meeting of commoners, send by pre-paid post to each commoner whose name appears on the commoners’ roll kept by the trust:

a notice specifying:

the place, date and time of the meeting, and

the nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting, and

where the meeting is the annual general meeting:

a copy of the annual report prepared under section 37 concerning the activities of the trust during its last preceding financial year, and

a copy of the accounts required to be submitted to the commoners at the meeting in accordance with section 31 (6).

No business may be transacted at a general meeting of commoners except:

the business specified in the notice sent to the commoners in accordance with subsection (1), and

if, in the case of an annual general meeting, the business referred to in section 31 (7) is not specified in the notice—that business.

A commoner who wishes to bring any business before a general meeting of commoners may give notice in writing of that business to the trust concerned.

The trust concerned must include in the next notice calling a general meeting of commoners given after receipt of the notice referred to in subsection (3) particulars of the business specified in that notice.
