Hi Gazelle sounds like the meeting was fun.
- The manager is probably being practical (depending on the history of the building). All they had to do was ask does anyone want to nominate the co-owner. Lots of Stratas’ do that. Unless there is an issue with the person going on the committee, these one’s are usually let through so meeting don’t take hours.
- While the committee can do it. it could be an issue with owners. Remember all committee meeting agendas and minutes go out to owners and 25% of owners can block the committee from resolving any issue.
- This one is a problem. you need contracts and the Design Building and Practitioners Act is also involved for works over $5000.00, so the manager is wrong and really needs to be carefull.
