Would someone answer my question about the painting of the external foyers, please.
Every question like this has three parts.
1. Did anyone do anything wrong?
2. How wrong was it?
3. What can be done about it (and what do you want done about it)?
To answer No.1, did the EC have a subsequent meeting after the original meeting to discuss the painting of the additional areas? If not, the painting is unauthorised and whoever ordered it could be personally liable. If they did have a meeting, properly agendad and minuted, then you’re probably out of luck becasue they will argue that they had authority to paint foyers and then had the opportunity to do more presumably at a better price.
The answer to 2 would only matter if the cost of the painting was excessive and someone who authorised it was in some way connected with the painters. the colour issue is highly subjective and probably won’t fly at an adjudiaction.
Finally, what can be done about it? I f there is corruption, a failure to tell owners this was happening, no meeting or gross incompetence, you could maybe run a case at NCAT the the individual who ordered the painting be ordered to pay fro the re-painting of the foyers to their original colour or, at least, pay for the paint that nobody likes.
Your chances of success – I’d say minimal … unless you can prove this was one or two people acting without authority and with an ulterior motive.
