Special resolution requires specified notice and a substantially greater affirmative vote than opposition at a general meeting. An ordinary resolution is passed at a duly convened general meeting when votes cast in favour by entitled members voting in person or by proxy exceed votes cast against, including the chairman's casting vote. A special resolution requires the intention to propose it as special to be specified in the notice or intimated, the statutory notice of the meeting to be duly given, and the votes cast in favour by entitled members voting in person or by proxy to be substantially greater than votes cast against, whether decided by show of hands or poll.
