| Mr. Barry Fleming, a lawyer with the Human
Rights Commission, volunteered his time to come out from St. John's to deliver this
workshop. In his presentation, Mr. Fleming discussed the importance of incorporation
and the advantages of being registered as a charitable organization. Throughout
the workshop, participants discussed general circumstances experienced in their respective
organizations and liability issues. Mr. Fleming emphasized the importance of keeping
accurate minutes of meetings as they become a legal document once they are adopted and
signed. In a legal action, the minutes are one of the first documents secured as
evidence.
In closing, Mr. Fleming remarked that by attending this workshop does not mean that you
can't or won't be sued. He went on to say that prudent conduct should prevent one from
being successfully sued . |
