FAQ
Under Virginia FOIA, a "meeting" is any gathering of three or more members of a public body (or a quorum, if a quorum is less than three) to discuss or transact business of the public body. The law applies to all discussions, deliberations, and formal action.
A notice of meeting is a written document that informs company members and shareholders that a meeting will take place. It is an invitation that details the time and place of the scheduled meeting and also informs stakeholders of the topics to be discussed.
Must be displayed in a conspicuous way when printed or posted; ii. Must not contain overly technical language or very small print; iii. Must not be formatted in a way that defeats the purpose of the notice; iv. Must not contain language which nullifies the purpose of the notice.
The notice must be brief and to the point: it must highlight economic and environmental issues and decisions of concern to the public, as well as the implications of these issues and decisions.
A Legal notice is an ad that has been Court ordered or Judge mandated to run in a publication certified affidavit as proof of publishing. A Public notice, on the other hand, is one that is NOT court order or judge mandate but is required to run.
How much notice must be given? The general rule is that at least 21 days' notice must be given, although constitutions may specify longer. More than 28 days' notice must be given for listed companies regardless of what the company constitution says (s 249HA).
To be effective, public notices must have these attributes: Publication is in a forum independent of the government. The published notice is a preserved and secure tangible record that is archived. The notice is conveniently accessible by all segments of society.
Virginia's public notice laws require government, businesses and some individuals to give notice to the public when critically important actions are about to be taken – the foreclosure of a home, passage of a local ordinance, construction of a new highway, the adoption of a child – and so on.
No specific length of notice is required but reasonable notice should be given. For some companies one week may be reasonable for others it may be shorter. The notice given to each director does not need to be in writing but must include the following: the proposed date and time of the meeting.
