    Pamster makes a lot of sense but it depends very much on the type of person we are talking about.

    I have seen strata committees brought to a standstill because one person is so certain that they are right that they will not allow any other views to be discussed, let alone agreed on.

    This can range from refusal to move on to the next item, even after a vote has been taken, to physically and emotionally threatening rage, leading to the hiring of security guards and the early abandonment of the meetings.

    It’s very easy to get someone elected on to committees – it’s very hard to get them off.  That requires a special resolution at a general meeting at which someone would have to get up and explain why they no longer wanted this person on the committee.  Good luck with that.

    A code of conduct or standing orders adopted by by-law at your AGM would go some way to keeping recalcitrants under control – but I don’t know of a single strata scheme that has such a thing
