I will take the advice from this thread on board but the EC meeting that was planned the SM has advised that owners are allowed to attend this EC but cannot vote. She has since told me it is against the law not to allow them to attend the EC meeting.
The strata manager is right. Owners are entitled to attend EC meetings but they can’t vote and can’t even address the meeting unless they are invited to do so by the EC.
That doesn’t mean, however, that the EC meeting can’t go ahead if everyone who is entitled to attend isn’t able to get there.
I have to admit, I am becoming confused about what it is that you actually want. Do you wish the meeting to not go ahead so that specific item can’t be discussed in the absence of two EC members?
If that is the case, the absent EC members can get another EC member (or anyone, for that matter) to act as their proxy (subject to approval at the meeting by the rest of the EC). If the others on the EC refuse to allow the proxies, the absent members’ supporters could leave the meeting, rendering it inquorate so that no decisions can be taken.
But just to be clear, what is the outcome you require, and how many people in the EC do you have onside and does that represent a majority in the EC?
NB: The original thread was killed due to my pressing the wrong button when I was tidying up mis-formatted posts. It is now back in its entirety.
