Hi everyone following my first post I took advice and asked for an interim order to stop the unauthorised work by the EC. This was rejected BECAUSE. No financial restriction was placed at the AGM… Memo to all!
This week I went to mediation. No ECM appeared they were represented by the strata manager. In the discussion I pointed out that I understood as part of the Act, changes to common areas needed to be approved at a general meeting. SM advised that the EC as part of their role can make changes to the existing colour scheme because the paint was there not an addition? Some years ago we took the change to the paint scheme to a AGM gave a powerpoint presentation with options etc and got approval. Is this not necessary?
What is occurring now, is a new colour scheme, different to the approved external colour scheme, with no link to the upgraded colour scheme.
I requested all of the unauthorised work is taken to a general meeting, all but the paintwork was agreed. The comment from SM “put five solicitors in a room and all will disagree with this section of the Act”.
What chance does an owner have to understand the Act.
advice please on the best way to put a motion regarding reasonable restrictions and to make sure work is undertaken in the correct manner
thank you
