      Thanks so much for your replies. This is valuable information that I will seriously take on board. I do agree that we could do better with the SM. Now that…

        I would add that even if the SM is wonderful and the EC and OC are both entirely happy to delegate everything to the SM, the EC still ultimately is…

          A statutory appointment is where the strata manager has been appointed by an adjudicator in response to an application under the Act.  You see that where a strata scheme has…

            Thanks for all that information. I don’t know if he is a statutory appointment. Sorry to sound ignorant but I don’t know what a statutory appointment means? And yes the…

              Don’t resign – that’s how these people get to stay in control. If this strata manager is not a statutory appointment, then he is a dinosaur who really shouldn’t be…

                Yes the SM has run things for over 20 yrs.He was appointed by previous EC.    I don’t know when the SM agreement runs out or what type of strata…

                  @Susanp said: The first thing the SM said to the owners at the AGM that I attended, was that we could be on the EC but that we would do…

                    Yes I agree, I think it’s an odd answer that to me doesn’t make much sense. On our insurance policy, the option is there but it is not selected.  When…

                      I agree with Peter, that seems odd and merits further inquiry. Some insurance policies have exclusions on EC insurance, such as for defamation, because internal politics can become quite nasty…

                        That seems odd advice. Once a budget is set by the AGM, the EC makes financial decisions consistent with the budget. Let’s say there is a general maintenance line. The…
