The court held that "special business" is distinct from business requiring a special resolution: special business affects notice and proxy form obligations but does not by itself require a three‑quarters majority; absent a statutory or articles‑based requirement, matters are passed by ordinary resolution. The third resolution (letting of property) was not a matter requiring special resolution and was validly passed; the originating summons was dismissed.
