I agree that you need to investigate the wording of the by-law involved, since it is unlikely to be valid. But your question raises another issue, that the strata committee for your building has become a battleground between groups of owners, which does the building as a whole no good at all. It is a big building with 200 lots, so having the strata manager doing much of the work makes sense, especially spread over 200 strata fees being collected.
“As Secretary I was bombarded with 2 and 3 page questions which was strategy from the malcontents to upset the committee and replace them with like thinking owners. My response met with disagreeing with my answers and asking for more information.” Why are you involved with this? This would be better referred to the strata manager to prepare answers. Or just prepare a quarterly newsletter combining all the issues. The secretary of a large strata plan should be managing the strata committee and handling large issues, not sparring with individual owners.
