47 Section 46 may be declared inapplicable
Section 46 does not apply in relation to a member of the Board or of a committee if —
the member has disclosed an interest in a matter under section 45(1) or (2) or the person presiding at a meeting of the Board or committee has determined that the member has an interest in a matter under section 45(4); and
the Board or committee has at any time passed a resolution that —
specifies the member, the interest and the matter; and
states that the members voting for the resolution are satisfied that the interest is not significant enough to be likely to unduly influence the member’s conduct in considering or voting on the matter.
