...Burgess (9003075) BUS 3210 Unit 2 Mini Project The club constitution sets forth the establishment of the club or assembly as it may be termed. The constitution will most likely also have by-laws. The constitution and the by-laws are somewhat similar in structure but serve different purposes. “The constitution contains the fundamental principles of an organization and determines the responsibilities and rights of its officers and members. The by-laws deal with the detailed procedures and working guidelines of the organization and determine the routine operations of the organization” (A Constitution and bylaws workbook for prospective student organizations at Salem University). The constitution will spell out the assignment of officer positions within the club such as the president and vice president. Additional special assignments such as the treasurer, secretary and others may also be added as deemed necessary. As stated previously the constitution may also contain bylaws. These are more specific rules or laws such as meeting times, dues, membership requirements and voting privileges. A well written constitution will also state that these bylaws cannot be changed without some type of review and approval by the club before they can be changed. The degree of review is set forth in the constitution and bylaws. For example, if the bylaws state that the monthly meeting will be held on the third Monday of the month, which by law cannot be changed without a review and...

...Company Law 2.1.1 Separate Legal Personality of a Registered Company Currently at Page & Plant, neither person has been able to reach an agreement as to how their business should be organised. Under Scottish business law, their current business relationship would be classified as a Partnership, which results in both partners being liable for any situation e.g. account defaults, liquidation or lawsuits. Not only would the liability extend to the assets of the business but would also include personal assets e.g. their homes and cars. In order for Page & Plant to limit or minimise their liability, they must separate the legal personality and legal consequences of the business. In order to do this, Page & Plant can become a registered company as a corporate body. They must be incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 or previous company legislation. Private and Public Limited companies must be registered under the Companies Act in order for the company to become an independent legal person which means the registered company becomes a person capable of taking on duties recognised and enforced by courts. A separate corporate personality means: * The company is able to raise its’ own legal actions and be the subject of legal actions * The company’s members enjoy limited liability * Even with changes to the company’s membership, the company continues to exist, as opposed to a sole trading business or partnership, as the business would change in these...
