CGOV.7:4.1 - Establish the required contribution

Recover the matter, the decision maker’s powers and the conflict conditions. Identify any required specialist opinion, independent review, abstention, separate consent or eligible composition. Use the applicable rule rather than assuming that every conflicted matter requires the same procedure.

State the question the reviewer must answer. For a transaction it might concern a valuation assumption, alternative terms or consequences for the corporation. A general request to “approve the deal” hides both the substantive question and the authority boundary.

Reuse a sufficiently qualified existing result when permitted and adequate. For optional additional review, compare its attainable effect on the decision with its full burden, including access, interpretation, delay and displaced work. Further inquiry can be declined without treating an unresolved material condition as satisfied.
