    You can’t put up a motion at a General Meeting of the OC in relation to minutes of the EC, as it is a different forum.  The people voting at a general meeting are different to the people voting at an EC – people who were not in attendance at a meeting cannot then vote on whether or not a minute of that meeting was wrong.(also refer below re the general principles that apply to minutes)

    Well, there you go. Reading ScotlandX’s explanation, it all makes perfect sense, although I wonder if there is a subtle but significant difference in what I was suggesting.  I didn’t mean that the Owners Corp should rescind the decision of the EC meeting, just that it somehow go on the record that the minutes had been a bit suss.  Having said that, I can see how that might not fly.

    Again, perhaps the correct motion would be to ask the meeting to instruct the EC that their minutes should be accurate and not misleading as to the content of discussions and and intent of decisions made.  And again, wouldn’t any supporting explanatory comments then be on the record? 

    By the way, I know motions can be rejected by the chairman if they would contravene the law – but this one would simply be asking the EC to make sure that they were abiding by it.  Would that work?
