TRADE UNION ACT 1913 - SECT 4

Approval of rules.

4.(1) A ballot for the purposes of this Act shall be taken in accordance with
rules of the union to be approved for the purpose, whether the union is
registered or not, by the Registrar of Friendly Societies, but the Registrar
of Friendly Societies shall not approve any such rules unless he is satisfied
that every member has an equal right, and, if reasonably possible, a fair
opportunity of voting, and that the secrecy of the ballot is properly secured.

[(2) If the Registrar of Friendly Societies is satisfied, and certifies, that
rules for the purpose of a ballot under this Act or rules made for other
purposes of this Act which require approval by the Registrar, have been
approved by a majority of members of a trade union, whether registered or not,
voting for the purpose, or by a majority of delegates of such a trade union
voting at a meeting called for the purpose, those rules shall have effect as
rules of the union, notwithstanding that the provisions of the rules of the
union as to the alteration of rules or the making of new rules have not been
complied with.][
