Thank you Jimmy. That makes a bit more sense. I guess an EC, given notice of a substantial (>33%) minority of opposition to some proposition, would instead decide to put the matter to a general meeting to decide. That way the matter could be decided in the affirmative by, say, 55% or 65% (assuming the matter requires only an ordinary resolution).
However, what if the 34% of opposing owners know they would lose such a vote? Could they pre-emptively give notice that not only should the EC not decide themselves on the matter, they should also never decide to present a motion to a general meeting on the matter?
It sounds like there could be scope for game-playing!
