Are my questions here out of order? Or is everyone on holidays or something?
Well, it’s only three days since you posted and we have had a long weekend in NSW, so maybe … yes.
It’s very hard for us to judge at arms length whether or not your EC is dysfunctional since there are always people who are unhappy with decisions that are made (and the means by which the decisions are taken).
My definition of dysfunctional would include the following:
- The common property is not being properly maintained
- The owners are not beiing informed about what’s going on.
- The owners’ concerns are not being addressed by the EC or office bearers
- There is corrupt behaviour
- the EC is run by a combination of an autocratic chair and apathetic owners.
- Illegal activities (such as short term lets) are big permitted or even encouraged.
Incompetence is not necessarily ‘dysfunction’ as it can be easily corrected. And excessive holding of proxies is never a good thing but it doesn’t always lead to bad or corrupt decisions (it just makes them easier).
But if a minority had control of an Owners Corp and they maintained that control by virtue of deceptive behaviour and misinforming the other owners, then I would say that was dysfunctional.
The easiest way to test this is to run a case at the CTTT to have whatever you think has been done wrong changed.
