    You people talk about looking up an Act of Law as if it is normal; as if it is something everybody automatically knows how to do – but it isn’t. I am not a lawyer and I never had the need to pretend I was one before.

    I’m not a lawyer either.  At first I just Googled “Strata Act” and then built up my knowledge from there (over several years, it has to be said).  Wherever I can, I put the link to the Act or the relevant section, so people can access it themselves, if they are interested.

    That said, phrases like “you people” and “pretend to be a lawyer” are just a bit insulting, especially when people are trying to offer you advice free of charge.

    But I’m not entirely sure where I would find the management statement for my scheme either.  I thought that philjonk’s comment was a little harsh but I don’t think it was directed at you.

    I think its good that you have a strata manager.  The problem with having someone on the committee who knows everything they need to know is that they leave a vacuum when they go off, taking the knowledge with them.
