Four out of our six Owners Corp Committee members are in breach of the OC Act (they have taken large parcels of common property for their own use) and they refuse to resign from the committee.
If the issue goes to a vote for a special resolution at special general meeting, can they be prevented from voting on the issue has they are
a.) in breach and
b.) have an financial interest in the matter?
I have read that this is the case in other states but I have read the Victorian OC Act from cover to cover and I can’t find anything that prevents them from voting.
This seems bizzare to me, that they can potentially vote to allow themselves to keep breaking the law and “stealing” from other owners. There is a clear conflict of interest. Any advice?
