CompactLaw Legal Glossary

Ordinary Resolution

Where a decision made within a company by the members of the company voting on a particular issue must be passed by a simple majority (more than 50% of the members). The members can vote in person, or appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf. (An ordinary resolution can be used unless the Companies Acts or the company's articles of association specify that another resolution must be used, for example a special resolution.)
