Simple (and found a lot in similar statutes etc.) — if someone has been given a right of proxy to vote at one meeting, it is clearly important to state whether or not they retain that right if for some reason that meeting is adjourned.

Françoise Vogel Mar 25, 2012:

dans le contexte quelle raison y aurait-il d'exercer un droit de vote à un "adjourned meeting" ?

Tony M Mar 25, 2012:

Not dismiss... I did Google it, and if you eliminate examples like "adjoined meeting room(s)" (also an error, since it ought really to be 'adjoining', I ended up with only 650 hits, which is not really convincing proof that it exists as a valid term, in fact, the paucity of results does tend to point to an error. BTW, I didn't of course look at all 650 hits, but of the several I did look at in detail, they were all in some way related to a situation of adjournment or postponement of some meeting or other.

In fact, by eliminating a single reference taken from a description of a Batman film, the number of hits I got comes down to around 484, and the more I look at in detail, the more I see this 'error' for 'adjourned' — I note that a lot of these come from historical US sources.

Google "adjoined meeting" There are LOTS of examples, often from the UK

Similar context, same 'error' RUDESAT INTERNATIONAL | Constitution

www.rudsat.org/contents.php?page=6

... place convening the meeting, not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjoined meeting at which the person named in the instrument ...

And from the same document:

If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting if convened upon the requisition of members shall be dissolved, and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place, and if at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, the meeting shall then be dissolved.

cf. the similar one quoted earlier:

Tony M Mar 25, 2012:

@ P/G Sorry, but 'adjourned' does make perfect sense in the context as given — and sadly, your FR ref. below proves nothing, except that a FR term exists. Have you so far found any bilingual refs. containing both terms? I haven't yet...

BTW, please could you re-post the full link you mentioned just below, as sadly it has got corrupted (yet again!)

polyglot45 Mar 25, 2012:

@Tony OK - you've found some cases of error but, sorry, adjourned, doesn't make sense in context, especially if you look at "my" French reference below - and this:

Tony M Mar 25, 2012:

@ P/G Well, I thought so too, but 'adjoined' is such a very odd word to find in EN, and just look at this Google hit I found which does seemingly contain the very same error:

Bylaws
www.scmrs.net/docs/bylaws_5.html

3 Sep 2008 –
... fixed at the meeting adjourned and if such adjoined meeting is held no more than twenty-four (24) hours from the time of the original meeting.

And here is another example where it is quite clear it is simply an error:

... come up during the season, how to cut costs for registration fees incurred to WWSO. That concluded New Business. The President adjoined meeting at 9:57 pm.

and here again:

To my mind, the fact that there are only 650 Ghits for "adjoined meeting" only serves to confirm that it is an error (compared to over a million for "adjourned meeting").

polyglot45 Mar 25, 2012:

@Tony - think you're fabulating a bit - clearly it is "réunion connexe" of some sort

Tony M Mar 25, 2012:

Typo / scanno? I have a nasty suspicion this might be an error for 'adjourned' — possibly a dictation error, or an original typo miscorrected by a spell-checker.

Do you know what country this document is from? Certain American regional accents could make the '-er-' sound in 'adjourned' sound like the '-oy-' sound in 'adjoined' (cf. New York 'dirt' > 'doyt'!)
