I have been asked to comment on the legalities etc of a Strata EC Chair, organising a EGM to change strata Bylaws to allow his son to keep a dog. Apparently this strata has at the past two AGM’s in 2011 and 2012 rejected a change in Bylaws. Subsequently the chair of this particular EC has “door knocked” owners for their proxies in support of a Bylaw change for up to 6 weeks prior to the EC calling for a EGM to change the Bylaws in favour of the son and his dog! Can anybody help?

There’s nothing to stop the EC Chair doing this and, if he is explaining why he needs the proxies, there’s no reason to object. Even if he was asking for the proxies without saying why, it’s still legal. But bear in mind that proxies can be rescinded by the simple act of signing a subsequent proxy for someone else which cancels out the previous one,
