I don’t see much difference between proxy farming and pre-voting. The issue with pre-voting is the strata committee have a disproportionate ability to circulate their opinion to owners, compared to a single owner. Owners pre-vote in alignment with the opinion of the Strata Committee members without ever hearing the view of anyone else.
In a recent example, we sued the OC for some pretty egregious acts against our property rights under the direction of the SC, we prevailed in NCAT and were awarded substantial costs. The SC circulated paperwork to owners making the arguments that NCAT soundly rejected as “unconvincing”, “without merit” and “flawed” yet they still circulated those same arguments to owners in order to entice pre-voting to pass their agenda and cover up their misdeeds. We now have no choice but to sue members in the supreme court.
