1) I have already informed my SM of my intent to go through a mediation process, would I need to take send anything else to advise?
2) As our AGM is in March, would it be wise to take the mediation step first?
3) In order to have this tabled at a GM do I just notify my SM? Would I do this post mediation/adjudicator result?
In response to your further questions above:
1) NO, as Fair Trading will send a copy of your Application and supporting paperwork / photos to the Secretary of your Owners Corporation, but as your advice should be to the Secretary, just make sure that the Strata Manager is delegated that role, or if not that they do pass it on to the Secretary.
2) YES
3) Frankly I don’t know why you’d bother the raise the matter at a General Meeting as in this instance your Executive Committee is empowered to make decisions on behalf of the Owners Corporation, albethey in strict accordance with the provisions of its Special By-Law (SBL), and they’ve done that. However if you want to have that SBL amended, then I’d wait until after mediation, and if you still want to submit that argument as an Agenda Item to the next General Meeting (e.g. an AGM), then you can do that whenever you choose so long as it’s before the Agenda Papers for that Meeting are prepared and distributed.
