Well, you can't give a formal notice of a general meeting containing the resolutions to be considered if you don't know what the resolutions are yet.
A moot point. Or a chicken and an egg issue?
I was not allowed to raise a motion from the floor "that the question be not put" at the 2014 AGM (with regard to a Members' Resolution). In other words, after some discussion, I wanted discussion of the item stopped and no decision being taken.
The formal legal "notice of a general meeting of a company must state the general nature of the business to be dealt with at the meeting" and "A resolution of the members of a company is validly passed at a general meeting if (a)notice of the meeting and of the resolution is given ....".
Last year, a (non-statutory) email was sent on 27/06/2014 to all members telling them to propose any resolutions by 06/07/2014.
Regarding that resolution last year.... well, I don't think an ultra vires proposal should have ever got to the meeting, but the board wanted differently.
