At the commencement of the first meeting of trustees
after an AGM, the trustees must elect a chairperson, who will hold office
until the end of the following AGM.
The chairperson’s main function is to chair the meetings of both owners
and trustees.
Their only additional power compared to that of other trustees is that
they have a casting vote when there is a deadlock among trustee voters.
This means that if, once each trustee has voted (including the
chairperson), there are an equal number of votes, the chairperson may vote
again to break the deadlock.
