P.S. This Exec. Committee is running wild. They have introduced a By-Law to stop owners communicating by email.As non of the owners live at the property, this restricts communication between owners but again, I have to find a law this by-law contravenes and I can’t find a law that upholds people’s rights to communicate freely.
KP is right, they can’t tell you what to do and what not to do but the fact is that email communication is an ‘opt-in’ in strata schemes, regarding communications between the committee and/or strata manager. Also, strata managers are usually very careful not to provide email addresses to other owners, citing privacy legislation.
But if you already have the email addresses of other owners, the first thing I would do is to write to them and ask them if they are happy with the way their properties are being managed, specifically their efforts to stop owners communicating with each other.
It’s not up to you to find a lw that the by-law contravenes – it’s up to the EC to issue notices to comply and make them stick at NCAT (which I’m pretty sure would bounce this one straight back out the door).
