Section 8: (1) No resolution explicitly or implicitly repealing or altering a decision taken

8. (1) No resolution explicitly or implicitly repealing or altering a decision taken by the Council within the year preceding that resolution shall be proposed at any meeting held within that year unless prior notice thereof is given to the Chief Executive at least 10 days before the meeting. (2) On receiving a notice under subparagraph (1), the Chief Executive shall do the needful so that notice of the motion is served on every Councillor at least 5 days before the meeting and no such resolution shall have effect unless it is voted at the meeting by at least two-thirds of the Councillors present. (3) After a resolution explicitly or implicitly repealing or altering a decision of the Council has been proposed and rejected, no Councillor may propose the same resolution again or propose a new resolution explicitly or implicitly repealing or altering the decision, unless— (a) 6 months have elapsed from the date of the decision; or (b) the proposal has the written support of at least half of the total number of Councillors, including his vote. (4) Where for want of a quorum, the resolution cannot be put to the vote at 2 subsequent meetings, no Councillor may propose the same resolution unless 6 months have elapsed. (5) Where the decision which it is sought to repeal or alter was for doing an act forthwith or within a specified time, such decision, unless repealed or altered, may be carried out forthwith after the meeting, if no time was specified, or after the expiration of the specified time.
