Legal Consultation #1

On the application forms to register a CLG it asks if we are a Public or Private CLG...which one are we going to be and why?

My guess it would be a Private CLG as Public CLG's are a type of shereholder companies listed to raise membership capital by way of shares and distribution of income to shareholders who's liability is limited by the liability clause in the constitution/rules. Worth checking as I may be wrong here.

Both the Holding and Subsidurary CLG companies would not have Shareholding and only Membership.

Can we get Moore's to look at this and report whether collectives that are funded by the cultural org to exhibit or perform artworks or workshops at the event are leaving themselves exposed, with particular focus on Clause 4 about assuming responsibility and liability for all infrastructure? In my mind the event should be providing the service of a qualified structural engineer who specialises in events to come and inspect and sign off all structures, not leaving it up to theme camp crews to do their best while exposed to liability. Also interested to understand how many camps serve bootleg liquor at their bars when that is clearly outside legal service guidelines, what if someone gets critically ill? Who would be liable? The event? The person who signed the MOU? or the brewer?

It needs to be addressed at some point, though I feel its not what we're meeting with the lawyers today, to discuss, with regards to where we're at with the REC Restructure and questions pertaining to that.
