Our clients often ask us to provide advice regarding the terms « forbearance » and « rejection ».
In short, abstention is « the retention of a vote [by an administrator] », while rejection is « deprivation of oneself as a judge or political decision-maker on a particular issue, particularly due to a conflict of interest » (Blackâs Law Dictionary (8th ed. 2004).

Soon-Shiong, who had only told the Post in the middle of the week that he had not yet decided how he would vote on the offer, ultimately abstained. If such a conflict of interest exists, a director must withdraw from participation in a particular matter. In other words, the director cannot vote on the action (i.e., abstain) and must move away from the meeting when his or her topic is on the agenda. On the basis of the foregoing, a director, if he abstains from voting, abstains from voting, which means that the vote of a director subject to abstention is not counted for or against the action, but that the presence of the director may be taken into account for the existence of a quorum. (Friedman, Cal. Practice Guide: Corporations ¶ 6:223.1.) Thus, even if the vote of a director subject to abstention is not counted for or against the share, as long as a majority of the directors present at the meeting vote in favour, it will be adopted.
(Article 7211(a)(8) of the Legal Persons Code.)

Sexual abstinence has been promoted to prevent social ills such as teenage pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and others. There are various federal and state laws that vary from state to state and govern sexual abstinence education in schools. A provision of the Welfare Reform Act of 1996 led to the creation of hundreds of programs across the country requiring young people to abstain from sexual relations until marriage. The U.S. Sexuality Information and Education Council reported that states used federal funds included in a 1996 Welfare Act to create nearly 700 « abstinence-only » programs in 1998. â. The refusal of the members of the voting council is in fact a statement that they agree that a majority of the quorum may act for the body to which they belong. Therefore, any action taken by an organization must continue to be supported by the votes of a minimum majority of the College.
It can rightly be said that the member who abstained [by silence] « tolerated » or « accepted » any decision taken by the panel, provided that the number of members entitled to vote was at least a majority of quorum (Opinion Nos. 10-901, 20 December 2011; p. 10, paras. 2 and p. 13, by. 2.)

(b) Purpose of attribution It is not the right of everyone, at their discretion, to abstain from the covenant with God. When you abstain, you are conscious and usually effortful and choose to hold back from doing something you would like to do.

It is therefore not surprising that abstinence dates back to Middle English and Anglo-French to Latin abstineäre, which combines the prefix ab- (« from, far, off ») with tenäre, a Latin verb meaning « to hold ».
TenÄre has many descendants in English – other descendants are contain, hold, maintain, obtain, maintain, preserve and support, as well as some words that do not end in -maintain, such as tenacious. Abstinence, like many of its cousins, has been used by English speakers since at least the 14th century. Sometimes board members are reluctant to get involved in controversial issues and may use an abstention to stay away from the proverbial fire. Of course, in the event of a conflict of interest vis-à-vis one or more directors, this abstention is justified. However, in the absence of such a conflict, members expect their elected directors to make a decision that is in the best interests of the company as a whole.

Conflicts over abstention often arise from constitutional challenges to state laws. Finally, the board of directors owes the association an undivided duty of loyalty and cannot make decisions that benefit its own interests at the expense of the association and its members (i.e., conflict of interest) (see Raven`s Cove Townhomes, Inc. v. Knuppe Development Co., 114 Cal. App.3d 783 (1981).) The duty of loyalty not only includes the duty to avoid conflicts of interest, but also requires full disclosure of all interests that may run counter to the association. In cases where a director withdraws from a vote, any measure voted after the departure of that director may continue to be adopted as long as a majority of the original quorum approves the measure. This is the case because « a meeting at which the quorum is initially present may continue to do business regardless of the withdrawal of the directors if the actions taken are approved by at least a majority of the quorum required for that meeting. » (Article 7211 (a) (8) of the Code of Legal Persons).
