A quorum of the Court shall comprise three members of the voting membership of which one must be the Master or a Warden (The Charter). The Court shall comprise a Master, three Wardens and 23 Assistants (The Charter).
To maintain the Court voting strength in accordance with the Charter Past Masters shall serve as a voting Court Assistant for a maximum of 15 years from the date of their becoming Immediate Past Master. Thereafter they will become Honorary (non-voting) Assistants (Court Meeting 5th July 1999). An Assistant may defer progression to Junior Warden by a maximum of two years subject to the approval of the Court. (Court Meeting 24th November 2005).
The status of Past Master Emeritus enables Past Masters on request to withdraw from Livery membership but retain a record of their position and status in the Company without incurring a membership cost. All the benefits of membership are relinquished but the individual remains on the annual Coachmaker Directory distribution list. (Court Meeting 22nd March 2017).
To ensure a coherent progression to the Chair, the Master of the year will periodically review the progress of Assistants such that with seven years to run before election to Master each Assistant will formally have had the opportunity to discuss their progress with the Master of that year; this should be considered as a confidence check for both parties. (Court Meeting 7th March 2017).
