It’s legal – just – but is it right? I don’t think so……In fact the minutes of the EC meetings (not general meetings) have to be sent out within 14 days by law.
If he refuses, sack him. The tail must not wag the dog.
It hardly matters but is it 14 days or is it 7 days? I thought it was 7.
I can find where it says 7 days so i am wondering if it is 14 days then where do i find that. I can find where it says they need to remain on display for 14 days so perhaps it is 7 days to send the EC minutes and 14 is just a typo caused by the the display period requirement.
It doesn’t really matter because the late mailing of EC minutes is the type of non compliance that the establishment (CTTT) don’t feel is worthy of their attention – if owners have a problem with it then it comes under what CTTT call “micro management” and the OC can deal with that internally as far as CTTT is concerned, i.e. if an owner does not like late EC minutes then they should try to have the EC removed.
Schedule 3, clause 16, of the Strata Act is another one of those parts of the legislation that an EC can openly ignore. Seven days, fourteen days, a month … it won’t be until numerous owners do not get (or have displayed), repeatedly over several months, the EC minutes; then somebody might make an order.
The time to send/display minutes is one of those parts of the legislation that does not really matter unless a failure to meet the requirement becomes something of major significance.
