Sasha1 said…… am I correct in assuming that no resolution can be passed even if the other 4 units (2/3rds of the entitlements) vote in favour and we vote against (providing I turn up to the general meetings or return paper votes).
If the Motion is one of those that requires a Special Resolution and you personally vote or your proxy (paper vote) includes instructions about how you want your vote/s to be cast, YES you’re correct.
Be careful how you exercise your votes though, as other Owners can seek Orders in the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal to effectively nullify those if Meeting procedures weren’t strictly followed or otherwise in the Local Court if they’re seen to be malicious or to frustrate the Owners Corporation’s efforts to comply with its obligations under the Strata Schemes Management Act; neither process may be successful but aggrieved Owners can cause problems.
