Offers to be submitted to board first
376 Offers to be submitted to board first
A proposal to make an offer to which this Division applies must in the first instance be submitted to the board of the co-operative.
The board may decline to put a proposed offer to a special postal ballot unless arrangements satisfactory to the board have been made for payment to the co-operative of the expenses involved in holding the ballot.
The board may require payment under subsection (2) in advance.
A requisition for a special postal ballot for this Division cannot be served unless the board has had a reasonable opportunity to consider the proposed offer concerned.
A period of 28 days is a reasonable opportunity for considering a proposed offer but the Registrar may extend the period in a particular case, whether before or after the end of the 28 days, by written notice to the co-operative.
