SECTION 09: VACANCY IN BOARD, ETC., NOT TO INVALIDATE ACTS OR PROCEEDINGS No act or proceeding of the Board shall be deemed to be invalid by reason only of the existence of any vacancy in the Board or any defect in the appointment of a member thereof. "The Committee consider that the scope of the existing clause 9 is rather too wide and that it is not desirable to validate all acts and proceedings of the Board, notwithstanding any defect in its constitution.
