Committee Deadlocks Clause Samples
The Committee Deadlocks clause defines the procedures to follow when a committee is unable to reach a decision due to a tie or persistent disagreement among its members. Typically, this clause outlines mechanisms such as escalation to a higher authority, appointment of an independent arbitrator, or granting a casting vote to a designated individual. Its core function is to ensure that the committee can continue to operate effectively by providing a clear method for resolving impasses, thereby preventing prolonged stalemates that could hinder decision-making and project progress.
