Hi Felix,
The EC can’t grant exclusive use rights over common property, this can only be decided by special resolution at a general meeting.
Unless there is an exclusive use by-law, licence or lease passed by special resolution at a general meeting and registered within 2 years, the owner or resident bascily has no rights to use the space.
The EC’s decision is not final or binding.
The decision and action can be overturned by application for mediation/an order through Fair Trading.
Mr S
