An emergency motion can be accepted after the convening notice for a meeting has been published. In an AMM, this can be proposed by one member. To be deemed an emergency, it must prove that it is relevant to an event that occurred after the convening notice was published otherwise the proposer should/must have given the membership notice of their motion via the Secretary In a B&D GC, an emergency motion can be proposed by a delegate without reference to their nominating organisation and delegates cannot get mandates for the emergency motion; these facts reinforce the need for a test as to the bona fide nature of the "emergency". None of what I said addresses the second part of the test which is to qualify as an emergency, the motion requires that it is not delayed to a meeting at which notice can be given.# I'd add that votes of no confidence, since they have zero effect, can never satisfy the 2nd test. (Although that's a bit controversial!)
correction: ^cannot get mandates^are highly unlikely to be able to get mandates^
