Reply To: Strata records – said to have gone missing

Thanks kaindub.

Given few records could be found in the strata manager’s possession and SC members asserted they had no records in their possession, it is clear that your recommendation, being

So the moral of the story is to make all decisions at properly convened meetings, and record them and keep them in a minute repository

works only if those who make decisions choose to do so in a transparent manner at properly convened meetings. Most SC I have encountered prefer to document very little, which causes problems for owners in the future.

It seems there is little an owner can do if a SC and/or strata mgr choose to document little and then deny possessing the few records that should be available.

Maybe it’s time for penalties for SC members and strata managers to be handed down for NOT documenting decisions and NOT retaining ALL records for the legislated 7 years.

I suspect that will trim down the paddock full of clueless wannabe SC members when they know they’ll be held responsible for their actions.
