    As many Lot owners default to nominating the “Chairperson” as their proxy (with / without specific instructions on Motions), is the Chairperson caught under these provisions as an unintended consequence under the legislation?

    I think that is rather the point.  Living in a block of more than 100 units where the chairman routinely runs a scare campaign about the terrors of the meeting being non-quorate (never happened, never will), characterises any attempt to gather opposition votes as proxy farming and then turns up at the meeting with more than 50 percent of the votes (rendering the meeing pointless), I can’t wait for the “blind proxies” to be eliminated.

    Having said that, as it stands, the chairpersons and their loyal committee members who fear informed voting will be organising proxy parties where they ask for blank forms and just fill in their names until their quotas are used up.
