Well well Jimmy. I am not sure if you have limited vision, computer issues or if you are being overly officious. I did indeed respond further up on 22/11/17. Yes I did raise two different threads because I believed that they were separate topics. One related specifically to common property and the other related to the issue of voting rights of conflicted parties. Perhaps you are confused about the order in which those threads occurred? I most certainly went out of my way to report back and thank those that had answered prior to opening a new thread.
Just to be clear – I raised the first issue (theft of common property) on 3/11/17. I thanked everyone and gave and update on 22/11/17. I then raised the second issue (the one you responded to regarding voting) on 22/11/17. I have not yet thanked people for the latest thread as today is the first time I have been back here with time to post. I was also waiting for the outcome of some correspondence so I could update you all.
Sorry will suffice.

“Thank you for your responses.
We had a dispute resolution meeting which did not go well. The committee members who have taken common property refuse to resign from the committee (they see no conflict of interest) and refuse to return the property. *sigh*
So the complainants will press on and it will most likely be resolved at VCAT.”
22/11/2017 at 11:07 pm in reply to: Victoria – Conflicted Committee Members Permitted to Vote? #28729Four 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?
