New Business at a Called Meeting

[Guest Holton]

Let's say that, at a called meeting for a specific purpose, additional business is conducted and nothing is mentioned at that time about such new business being out of order.  If there is no concern by the body raised at subsequent meetings regarding the action that was taken, is there a need to revisit such actions or can the body simply live with them and commit to doing better in the future?  Also, if a grievance (I don't know the word) was later filed for any reason, could the body simply take up the discussion again, either at a stated meeting or at a meeting called for that purpose, and handle the business once again?  Thank you!

RONR (11th ed.), pp. 124-125, discusses how to ratify (or to censure) action taken at a special meeting with regard to business not mentioned in the call of that meeting.

A point of order could be raised at any time in the future because failure to abide by rules that protect absentees is a continuing breach. However, as Transpower mentioned, the actions taken at the special meeting can be ratified at any time when it is in order to handle those items of business.
