I have another interesting point to make that is related to the notion of not permiting new proxies at an adjourned meeting. My point is in relation to the situation in a 2 lot scheme where one lot owner is not financial and is present at the original meeting.
The strata manager claims that the meeting has no quorum because one of the two lot owners present an the original meeting was not financial.
The strata manager also claims that the unfinancial member cannot pay the outstanding amounts in order to have their votes counted at the adjourned general meeting to be held at a later date for the same reason I cannot submit a new proxy. The managers reason is that the meeting is in fact the same meeting being continued at a later date.
My question is. What is the purpose of adjourning the original meeting due to a lack of a quorum because one of the owners present was unfinancial when the period of adjournment offers no opportunity to that owners to pay the outstanding moneys?
It seems to me that the combination of the notion of an unfinancial member not being able to form part of the quorum and the notion that the owner cannot rectify their finances during the adjournment period is contradictory and unjust.
The adjournment is necessary to move towards having the meeting that has loosened the quorum conditions.
It seems to me that the purpose of the adjournment is lost when the manager says nothing can change during the adjournment period.
