Curly Q2An Owner submits a Motion in writing for the next GM, well in advance.
The Owner subsequently sells and by the next GM is no longer an Owner.
Is the OC still obliged to put the Motion on the Agenda?
No.
9 Restriction on moving motion or nominating candidate
(1) A person is not entitled to move a motion at a meeting or to nominate a candidate for election as a member of the executive committee unless the person is entitled to vote on the motion or at the election.
(2) Subclause (1) does not prevent the owner of a lot from moving a motion or nominating a candidate even if the lot is subject to a mortgage or charge.
10 Persons entitled to vote at general meetings
(1) Who has voting rights?
Each owner, and each person entitled to a priority vote, has voting rights that may be exercised at a general meeting of the owners corporation, but only if the owner or person is shown on the strata roll and, in the case of a corporation, the company nominee is shown on the strata roll.
36 Requisition for motion to be included on agenda for general meeting
(1) Any person entitled to vote at a general meeting of an owners corporation on a motion that does not require a unanimous resolution may, by notice in writing served on the secretary of the executive committee, require inclusion in the agenda of the next general meeting of the owners corporation of a motion set out in the notice and the secretary must comply with the notice.
As the owner has sold the owners name no longer appears on the strata roll, provided the s118 notice has been given, then the ex owner has no entitlement to vote. The Secretary is under no obligation to include the motion.
