SJ1965 – What is the outcome that you are trying to achieve? Are you trying to obtain from the previous owner the cost to you of your share of the common property repairs?
If so, is it worth the cost of the solicitor’s fees? The financial result of chasing the previous owner for the cost of the repairs via the solicitor is very likely to far outweigh any benefit that you may be able to obtain.
A favourable outcome for you is far from certain as the legislation is very unclear as it what must be included in the Minutes.
If I was in your position I would not be pursuing this matter any further.
If you want to make sure that Committee discussions are Minuted from now on then you could raise a Motion at the next General Meeting. The Motion could state something like this:
“That in the interests of transparency that all topics that are discussed by the Committee at a Committee Meeting are to be recorded in the Minutes and this is to be regardless of there being a resolved outcome from the Committee’s discussion of the topic”.
