1) Since the MRT members do not have a corporate shield, can the members be held individually liable in case of litigation surrounding the RFP process (say for a failed bid); and how can their personal liability be minimised?

2) Will a financial indemnification clause of a contract be valid if the contract itself is the subject of litigation; especially if the contract is held to be void as a result of the litigation? Are there ways to deal with such a situation?

3) How will the by-laws of Contract Co delegate contracting authority to the MRT since MRT does not have legal existence; will the by-laws need to individually name every MRT member and will the by-laws need to be updated every time a new member is selected?

All:

As previously discussed, there are several aspects of our work where we thought it would be helpful to get legal advice from independent counsel. 

I've been advised that in order to make this request, we should have a list of the questions we would like to put to counsel.

I am starting this thread in the hopes that others in the CWG will reply with the questions they believe the CWG should put to counsel.

Thank you for your contributions!
