As inconvenient as it may be for the secretary to convene a general meeting in order to fill a casual vacancy on the executive committee (E/C), the salient and perhaps logical point is that given in Cl.2(b) [copied in Jimmy T’s post #4] where, as the appointment of the current E/C members was made by the owners corporation at a general meeting, the same procedure should occur to fill a casual vacancy.
This interpretation of the Act may allow kik11e and like-minded owners to challenge the “shock wave” appointment ideally, provided their collective units of entitlement is ≥25% of the plan’s aggregate, by requisitioning the secretary (or strata manager if so delegated) to convene an extraordinary general meeting in order conduct a proper election for a replacement E/C member.
With the benefit of hindsight it would have been better if the resigning member had sought to appoint another owner to “act” in their place at each meeting of the E/C until the date of the next annual general meeting.
