Hi gang. I’m a 1st time poster but long time reader.
I am wondering what powers a proxy has in specific regards to offering opinions in relation to committee matters. I have an example of an individual acting as proxy for an elderly parent. I dont have a problem with this person voting at AGM and other matters, but I don’t agree with their having an opinion and being actively involved in committee conversations. We are a small block with a small committee. Any advice offered would be fantastic…

The non-owner proxy has all the rights and responsibilities of a committee member but only if they were nominated for election at the AGM by an owner. My reading of Schedule 3 of the Act seems to suggest they have to be an owner to be a ‘casual’ proxy on a meeting by meeting basis.
3 Acting members of the executive committee
(1) A member of the executive committee may, with the consent of the executive committee, appoint an owner or company nominee of a corporation which is an owner to act in his or her place as a member at any meeting of the executive committee.
(2) The owner or company nominee so appointed is, while so acting as a member, taken to be a member.
