Bruch v. National Guarantee Credit Corp. green
delch · 1922
2 sentences

1946This is so because it was held in Bruch v. National Guarantee Credit Corporation, 13 Del.Ch. 180, 184 , 116 A. 738, 740 , that “The rule is that the number necessary to constitute a quorum, under a by-law such as appears in this case, is a majority of the entire board notwithstanding there may be vacancies in the board at the time.” The pertinent by-law provision of the corporation involved in the Bruch case was in substance identical with the complainant corporation’s by-law governing quorum requirements, and, as a consequence, the quoted principle is operative.
