  2. A member's attendance at a meeting:
    1. Waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the member at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and
    2. Waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the member objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under former Code Section 14-3-81, are included in the annotations for this Code section.

No waiver of objections.

- Notwithstanding the waiver provisions, there is nothing in the Georgia Nonprofit Corporation Code (see now O.C.G.A. § 14-3-101 et seq.) that provides for a waiver of objections to matters voted upon at a meeting. Crocker v. Stevens, 210 Ga. App. 231, 435 S.E.2d 690 (1993), cert. denied, 511 U.S. 1053, 114 S. Ct. 1613, 128 L. Ed. 2d 340 (1994) (decided under former § 14-3-81).
