    Hi Strata Survivor you are not alone.

    We tried to remove 3 committee members as two were bullies taking turns at being the chairperson and one was the non transparent secretary.  It all started with abuse from a chair person, and another committee member (my husband) and at the A.G.M other owners were told to vote my husband off and used 12 proxies.  The secretary never posted on the agenda the letter concerning the abuse and we were then abused by 9 committee members and 10 other owners.  After near 3 years and 8 lawyers letters, $8,000. mediation, we were told by a directions hearing officer to find a lawyer as some of our claims were not on point, so we did, $3,000.  At the N.C.A.T hearing we were told that because the committee did not issue the by law breach to the abusive committee member the judge could not dismiss the abuser.  The N.C.A.T Judge determined that we were to be treated in the same manner as other owners of the high rise and two weeks after the determination the abusive committee member tried to issue a breach of bylaw on me and his wife set an AVO on me.  The husband and wife then had to withdraw the vexatious AVO and pay for my lawyer, I still had to pay $600.

    Finally the committee tried to push the owners into leasing the top of the building and the owners rejected the decision and 5 committee members resigned we now have a few good committee members and the secretary is transparent and we were told at the N.C.A.T that not all correspondence has to be noted or filed.

    N.C.A.T does not deal with bullies, next time this happens to us we will be going to civil court.
