DISPENSE WITH THE READING OF THE MINUTES

dispense with the reading of the minutes.Parliamentary law. To forgo reciting the secretary’s

proposed  minutes  at  the  regular  time.  •  The  reading  is  not  forgone  altogether,  but  simply

postponed.  If  the  proposed  minutes  have  been  printed  and  circulated,  then  their  correction  and

approval is in  order without reading them aloud, and a motion to dispense  with reading them  is

superfluous. [Blacks Law 8th]
