Practice question
A union of 200 members holds a duly called special-assessment meeting for an otherwise lawful legal-services fee. Ninety attend and all ninety approve. Does that vote alone meet the majority-of-all-members requirement?
- Yes; the lawyer may supply the missing votes
- Yes; unanimity of attendees is always enough
- Yes; any five attendees may bind all members
- No; ninety is not a majority of two hundred
- Yes; attendance eliminates the statutory denominator
