1. Notices of motion should be limited to matters that members specifically intend should be brought before the Assembly for debate or decision. 2. With some exceptions (listed below) notice must be given of every motion, since in principle the House must be informed in advance of any substantive motion, to give members and parties time to prepare to debate it. 3. Giving notice of a motion can only be dispensed with provided each and every member present in the House agrees. 4. Exceptions: The following motions do not require notice: Motions - a) By way of amendment to a draft resolution; b) Raising a point of order or a question of privilege; c) For the postponement or discharge of, or giving precedence to, an order of the day; d) Referring a bill to a committee; e) By the member in charge, proposing a draft resolution on the report of a committee immediately after the debate on the report has been concluded; or f) In regard to which notice is dispensed with by the unanimous concurrence of all the members present. 5. Contingent notices: Members may give contingent notices of motion, that is, notices that particular motions will be moved contingent upon some event occurring in the course of proceedings of the Assembly, such as the moving of another motion. 6. Speaker may amend notices: The Speaker may amend or otherwise deal with a notice of motion which offends against practice or the Assembly Rules. 7. A practice has been developed of not amending offending notices but ruling them out of order and referring them back to the member concerned.
