Yes the OP doesn’t say whether it is a Committee or general meeting – regardless, a Committee doesn’t have the power to make a decision like that.
The Vexatious Litigants Act doesn’t apply here. As for requiring a seconder for a motion, that won’t fly. An owner is entitled to put a motion forward, there is no requirement in the Act for a seconder, and nor should there be. The Chair doesn’t decide what goes on the agenda – bear in mind that the agenda for a general meeting must be sent to owners a certain amount of time before the meeting.
A wholesale change of the style of windows would require a special resolution of the owners at a general meeting as a change to the common property. Perhaps the pesky owner needs to be told that. In addition I would be telling him that he could put the motion up, provided he includes a full scope of the proposal, including the design of the proposed windows, the budget and how he proposes to pay for it.
You do have the right not to include a motion in an agenda that is not complete, so unless it meets those criteria, don’t include it.
