Thanks Whale & kiwipaul for your replies. The difficulty here is the EC control over 50% of the building through either passive or non resident owners..
I assume you mean the EC control the OC through passive or non resident owners, because the EC CANNOT raise a Special Levy only the OC can do that.
YOU are legally allowed to access the owners register I would suggest that you send all of these passive voters a letter explaining that the EC is intending to raise an unnecessary special levy of $xxx when their is $xxx in the sinking fund and so would they be prepared to vote against this motion or give you their proxy to vote against this levy (include a proxy form suitably filled in with you as proxy that just requires them to sign and return)
Don’t inform the EC that you have this proxy until the meeting (you might have to give to the SM 24 hours before for legal reasons) because the newest dated proxy is the one that counts.
