Dear Kangaroo, our SP was registered in June 1992 & no, we won’t be allowed anywhere near the EC. It is tightly controlled by the SM’s acolytes. We have lived here for a little over two years & have a copy of the by-laws, which appear to be pre-1996. We’ve had a minor confrontation with the SM in 2012 & have been observing the goings-on quietly until our AGM last year. We have no notification of ECMs or their minutes at any time. The AGM minutes don’t reflect the discussions. Our motion for an amendment to previous year’s minutes were put to a vote & defeated overwhelmingly (it was on the subject of the SM’s insurance commission prom the previous year). We are not confident of getting all the documents we ask for, therefore we are gathering external documents first, in order to understand what to look for. By-law breaches only apply to those outside of the acolytes’ circle. Do I need to add more? As for the fire safety inspections, the completely enclosed rear courtyards leave only one exit from those houses in case of a fire. We need to understand how that is meant to work. Our common property has many obvious hazards, which leaves us with no insurance coverage should someone come to grief (at least two of them are bad enough to cause fatality). Something is terribly rotten in the State of Denmark & we must find out what that is. I am very grateful for your advice regarding our future dealings with the Land Titles Office.
