BUILDING SOCIETIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1967 - SECT 67

Persons entitled to notice of meetings.

67.(1) Any member of a building society entitled to attend and vote at a
meeting of the society shall be entitled to appoint another person (whether a
member or not) as his proxy to attend and (subject to subsection (2)) to vote
instead of him.

(2) Unless the rules of the building society otherwise provide, a proxy is not
entitled to vote except on a poll.

(3) In every notice calling a meeting of a building society there shall appear
with reasonable prominence a statement that a member entitled to attend and
vote is entitled to appoint a proxy, or, where that is allowed, one or more
proxies, to attend and vote instead of him, and that a proxy need not also be
a member.

(4) If default is made in complying with subsection (3) in respect of any
meeting, every officer of the building society who is in default shall be
liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding two hundred pounds.

(5) Any provision contained in the rules of a building society shall be void
in so far as it would have the effect of requiring the instrument appointing a
proxy, or any other document necessary to show the validity of, or otherwise
relating to, the appointment of a proxy, to be received by the society or any
other person more than forty-eight hours before a meeting or adjourned meeting
in order that the appointment may be effective at the meeting or adjourned
meeting.
