123 .         Deferral of forfeiture by board

        (1)         The board of a co-operative may by resolution defer cancellation of a member’s membership for a period of up to 12 months (the deferral period ) —

            (a)         if the board has reasonable grounds to believe that a member has ceased to be an active member because of unusual circumstances that prevent the member fulfilling his or her active membership obligations; or

            (b)         if —

                  (i)         the board thinks that during the deferral period an active membership resolution may be put to the members of the co-operative; and

                  (ii)         the effect of the resolution would be relevant to the question of whether the member is an active member.

        (2)         The board of the co-operative must review the resolution to defer within the deferral period to determine if a further resolution should be made under subsection (1).
