Reply To: Permission to speak at a Strata Committee Meeting

Thanks for the reply.

The work performed by the SC member is NOT at arm’s length.

There are no documents referring to the work being needed BEFORE it is allegedly done; no quotes supplied to the SC let alone the OC; no evidence that  work was done and if done, to what level of competence? All we have are invoices from the committee member, paid by the agent and approved by the SC a year AFTER pmt was made. And only after I queried the pmts when I looked at the accounts. I understood that the OC is the party to approve not the SC and that any approval must occur BEFORE pmt is made.

You suggest the AGM.

The AGM is an identical forum to a SC meeting in how it operates. Small strata, same committee members, they hold one proxy (of a hospitalised gentleman) and hence have a majority. Sometimes they have more than one proxy in their paws.

Interestingly, one owner yesterday declined to give them her proxy and did not attend the meeting.
