Thankyou Jimmy-T, certainly food for thought.
I think NCAT ( via mediation) is only solution as there are never committee meetings or correspondence from Committee. I inspected Strata Records and there were no such documents on file. The original strata plan and building plans show it is common property space. Unfortunately the Strata Manager also keeps information like a vault and also never responds. I think 2 years is limit on when we try to repeal it by resolution which is Oct 2019.
At AGM 2018 Myself and other lot owners pointed out that the By-law could also be misinterpreted as it is written with the section
,an amount equal to the amount of levies raised each year,
and in legal terms the comma could mean that owner of Lot AA might may claim ALL the levies collected for the block. Leaving us all financially vulnerable.
This was dismissed by the owner lot AA and he said something of the effect ” you know I would never do that” but Lot owners raised concerns about what about the future owners ? Anything is possible ? The Sec/Treas had no answers nor did committee and immediately shut down the discussion. The committee refused to consider to remove , repeal or legally review the By law . Lot owners met afterwards and expressed concern but unable to get an EGM to discuss or put forward a motion.
Thanks for your input it has been helpful, I will discuss with fellow lot owners our next move.
