Quorum

[Guest ERAZOR]

Is there any way business can occur if quorum has not been met at all during the meeting?

[David A Foulkes]

Not legitimately, no. See RONR (10th Ed.) p. 336-337 for what can be done at a meeting with no quorum.

Yep, look at RONR(10th ed.), p. 119, l. 11-35.

I'm pretty sure the original poster wanted to know whether business can validly occur at a meeting when there has been no quorum, and the answer is no. If action improperly taken at a meeting with no quorum is later ratified, this doesn't mean that the "business" validly occurred at the meeting, it just means that the assembly wishes to confer the legitimacy of the organization upon the actions taken by the members who acted improperly in the absence of a quorum.

The OP should have put validly, then.
