Guest Mark Esensten Posted October 28, 2010 at 04:24 PM Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 at 04:24 PM I am a member of a religious institution and the Board of Directors last month past a motion which made many people unhappy. It involves the renewal of an employee contract and the individual has been notified of the vote.I would like the Board to reconsider the motion but isn't too late to reconsider? Can a motion to rescind be used since this involves a contract? Is there any other motion that would be appropriate? Thanks you for any responses.

George Mervosh Posted October 28, 2010 at 04:27 PM Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 at 04:27 PM The motion to rescind can be applied to a contract. Check elsewhere to see what non-procedural ramifications that might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmtcastle Posted October 28, 2010 at 04:34 PM Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 at 04:34 PM The motion to rescind can be applied to a contract.Except that you can't rescind a motion if the authorized action (e.g. signing a contract, painting the clubhouse) has been carried out.

Josh Martin Posted October 29, 2010 at 05:58 AM Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 at 05:58 AM I would like the Board to reconsider the motion but isn't too late to reconsider?Yes (for more than one reason).Can a motion to rescind be used since this involves a contract?So far as RONR is concerned, yes, but there are likely legal issues involved here. You should consult a lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
