      This is a 32 unit Strata in NSW.

      At a recent EGM the chairman, who is the Managing Agent for the Strata, called for those against the proposed by-law to vote.

      The proposed by-law was defeated after counting up the unit entitlements.

      The Managing Agent then states that an abstention is effectively a yes because their vote is not being counted a “NO”.

      Some Owners question this as there are different reasons why someone might not have voted Yes and abstained such as being shy about declaring in front of other Owners or not sure about how they feel on the vote etc.

      This is the second meeting where this has occurred and some Owners want to clarify this for future meetings.

      Is the Strata Manager correct in what he is advising?
