Reading the new provisions (2015 Act) Proxies given to a Lot Owner is restricted; Relevant section as follows:
“Division 2 – Appointment of proxies
26 Appointment of proxies
(7) Limit on number of proxies that may be held. The total number of proxies that may be held by a person (other than proxies held by the person as the co-owner of a lot) voting on a resolution are as follows:
(a) if the strata scheme has 20 lots or less, one,
(b) if the strata scheme has more than 20 lots, a number that is equal to not more than 5% of the total number of lots.”
No where can I find that there is anything to say that where a Lot Owner is the presiding as Chairperson (vs the Strata Manager) that he / she is Not subject to that restriction.
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?
