Section 117 — Canada Business Corporations Act: Resolution in lieu of meeting
Text of the provision Official document
A resolution in writing, signed by all the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of directors or committee of directors, is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of directors or committee of directors. A copy of every resolution referred to in subsection (1) shall be kept with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors or committee of directors. Unless a ballot is demanded, an entry in the minutes of a meeting to the effect that the chairperson of the meeting declared a resolution to be carried or defeated is, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, proof of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution.
