Reply To: Owner seals off access path despite denial of permission

Can a Lawyer legally demand Strata Committee Agendas and Minutes from meetings.

The Update from above is that the Owner’s Lawyer has demanded he be sent copies of the Agenda and Minutes from the last Strata Committee meeting. He states he needs to check that the strata committee has acted within its scope and with full support from the Body Corporate. He is claiming the committee has been vexatiously pursuing his clients to prevent them selling their unit. He has made 2 demands for this now and I have been of the opinion that our Strata Committee agendas and minutes are the private business of the Body Corporate and are not the business of anyone outside these owners and the Strata Manager. Heaven forbid sharing with a local lawyer with who knows what dubious dealings. There is a lot of information about our strata in the minutes which does not need to be shared. For the record I distributed the Minutes of the last Strata Committee meeting to all owners via the Strata Manager within 2 days of the meeting. In the minutes the first agenda item was dealing with this owner’s breach of By Laws and a Plan of Action. For the record I have  had no contact from any owners with concerns about this Plan, apart from the Owner’s who have made the unauthorised alterations to common property. Should this meeting have been a meeting with all owners and not just Strata Committee. By the way this whole nasty business has resulted in 2 members of the committee resigning within the last week.
