without a formal meeting
Explanation:
Or just "without a meeting" - keep it simple (as the source). 71,000 and 2.7 M hits on Google respectively. I think the expression is so general it can be used not only in finance/management but also in courts (like here). Also used in the expression "action without a meeting". (http://law.justia.com/codes/wisconsin/2011/193/193.441.html)

"The balance of cases were concluded by default judgements, settled by the parties themselves or lapsed without a court meeting" (http://www.arbejdsretten.dk/generelt/labour-court.aspx)

oustide the hearing


Explanation:
(This is somewhat of a guess. "møte" may refer to a meeting of the arbitrators, in which case "utenfor møte" might mean "without a formal meeting" -- i.e. that they arrived at the decision without a formal meeting of the arbitrators or panel members.)

disagree  Robert Sommerfelt: I think "administratively" may also refer to formal proceedings. Administrative procedure = "saksbehandling" acc. to several sources

Example sentence(s):
  • Ask yourself what issues could be handled without a meeting, or could a meeting be postponed or avoided
  • Any action required or permitted to be taken at a POL Board meeting in Executive Session may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action taken or to be taken is signed by each of the Members.
