pwilson Posted November 14, 2017 at 01:22 PM Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 at 01:22 PM The phrase “priority of business” is used, so far as I’m aware, only in the context of undebatable appeals ([11th ed.], p. 257, ll. 34–35). Does the phrase refer to the precedence of items of business (such as general and special orders for particular hours, pp. 367–71) or the precedence of motions—or both or neither?

It refers to the former, and not to the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted November 14, 2017 at 01:46 PM Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 at 01:46 PM Also the phrase can be found under the motion to suspend the rules and call for the orders of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
