Hi there, I am the person mentioned in case Pamela Williamson v Owners Corporation Strata Plan 7348 [2015] NSWCATCD 65 at [39]). I would like to add that this decision was made due to an AGM being conducted incorrectly, not a Strata Committee meeting.
During the time I was dealing with this particular Strata Committee , the members of which have since sold up and moved on, they would always hold “paper” SC meetings that meant no-one could attend and observe. This seems like an underhanded way to have a meeting where contentious issues are disscussed and voted on.
I was hoping when the Strata Laws were reviewed the issue of “Paper” meetings would be addressed and changed. I realise Paper Meetings are useful for mundane strata issues such as voting on minor repiars and maintenance, but they shouldn’t be used be used for serious matters.
Sorry to say, I think you may find that your Strata Committee will resort to having Paper Meetings from now on, which is a very effective way to avoid scrutiny.
