Millie – I’m reluctant to ask about what it was that you took to the NCAT and about the stated rationale behind its decision to send you “packing”, so suffice to say that it’s a pity that their reported decisions still seem to be too often determined from a spin of that oft-mentioned chocolate wheel that it inherited from the former CTTT; same jockeys, different horse!
Regarding your AGM, I’m afraid that your elected Executive Committee Chairman will be able to chair the Meeting and to exercise those proxies that he’s farmed UNTIL the new Legislation comes into force in July 2016, where-after no individual will be able to hold any more then one (1) proxy for Schemes having less than 20 lots, and for larger Schemes a number of proxies equal to 5% of the total lots.
A couple of long-shots; ask the Chairman to let you examine all Proxy Forms before the commence met of the Meeting to ensure that each is properly completed and to make ineffective any that aren’t, and to have the block of owners that’s collectively pulling its hair out call for a poll vote on all Motions that it concerned about. Even if the outcome of the poll vote is the same as it would have been under the one vote / one value system, calling for the former will at least send a message to the others in attendance.
