Re: Rogue Chairman and Strata Manager ignoring my correspondence

Yes, I agree. I am gobsmacked that they are just ignoring me.

I just spoke to a SC member who had no idea about the requirements under the act for the conduct of SC meetings and said that after each AGM the SC meets and has a general discussion but otherwise says all ‘maintenance’ is delegated to the Chairman!! No other meetings! 

I assume – given that they have no idea of proper processes – that this alleged delegation was not done except informally, but surely the SC cannot simply delegate ‘maintenance’ to the Chairman or any one owner. That would defy the purpose of having elected representatives to ensure appropriate decisions are made???

If there was any legally binding instrument delegating that authority to the Chairman, surely that would be apparent on sale of the units…and surely that alone would make the apartments un-sellable – who would buy a unit where some random bully has unilateral control over any ‘maintenence’ decisions?

Any attempt to even enforce such delegation would have to be by special resolution at a meeting of all owners, given the impact of the same??

Argh.
