Yes it does… absolutely!
In the example you cite, I think we agee that a special resolution of the Owners Corporation (O/C) can legitimately transfer the responsibility for maintaining wiring within the ceiling space of lots from itself to you as an individual owner, however I don’t know of any provision of the Act that requires a special by-law to be unanimously (as opposed to specially) resolved in order to prevent you from sitting in the dark.
Thankfully, Johnny (post #1) is contemplating a transfer of responsibility for items such as insect screens and locks, where owners’ reluctance to themselves maintain those consequent to a special resolution of the O/C under the provisions of Sect. 62(3) would not necessitate a special by-law to mandate that maintenance.
