Hi Wombat,
What the Education Officer told you is correct and there is no paradox between that and what Rio did.
Rather than attempt to convey what i need to convey i will direct you to a book called Horsley's Meetings (should be available through your local library) and refer you to the chapter on proxies after which illumination will be yours and you will understand how in some cases a meeting can have new proxies while in other cases a meeting cannot.
You already seem to know the answer though –if a constitution or standing orders etc allow for new proxies then they are allowed and the common law position is no longer the standard. In the case of a strata meeting there are no provisions in the law relating to the matter so the common law position prevails.
