    Gees Tony, why didn’t you take my earlier advice (post #34) and place this whole saga in the hands of an experienced Strata Lawyer, who I’m sure could issue a letter to your Executive Committee Secretary that would put those bureaucratic bullies and their mates in the Community Assoc. in their place, and see your plans consented to without any more of this nonsense!

    In direct response to your latest queries, the Common Seal of the O/C can be placed on any document in any of three (3) ways (the most common first):

    1. By, or in the presence of, the Secretary and any other Member of the E/C; OR
    2. By, or in the presence of, any two owners to whom the the O/C has delegated that task at a General Meeting; OR
    3. By the Strata Manager if that authority has been delegated to them in the Strata Management Agency Agreement that they hold with the O/C and provided they’d derive no benefit from the document upon which the Seal is placed.

    Were I in your shoes, I’d step away from all this and brief the Lawyers and suitably delegate them before going away ….and I’ll bet that everything would be sorted by the time you return.
