Legal Definitions - standing rule

A standing rule is a regulation or principle that governs the administration or operation of an organization, rather than its procedures in meetings. It is a special rule of continuing force that applies to a specific situation or circumstance.

• A rule about the time and place of regular meetings is a standing rule.
• A rule about a committee's jurisdiction is a standing rule.

These examples illustrate how standing rules are specific to the organization and its operations, rather than the procedures used in meetings. They are designed to provide guidance and structure to the organization's activities.
