An adjudicator has dismissed an application seeking to prevent, and invalidate, an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) from proceeding based on a number of technical statutory compliance issues. The applicant argued that he had “suffered prejudice and unfairness”, due to a number of concerns including:
- not being provided with written notice of meetings and VOCs;
- holding meetings without notifying him, even when he was unable to participate in the meeting;
- not being provided with minutes of committee meetings or records of VOCs; and
- VOC record were not “full and accurate”.
Read on for details and reasoning for the order being dismissed. |

It’s inevitable that there’ll be strata disputes [or strata differences as I called them in my article ‘Better Ways to Approach Strata Differences’] and they’re not going away in hurry; even with new mindsets and better education. In almost all strata disputes the stakeholders adopt the mechanisms set out in the applicable strata laws and use the government provided facilities and institutions like New South Wales’ Strata Mediation, Queensland’s Body Corporate Commissioner’s Conciliation, Tasmania’s Recorder of Titles, or NCAT, VCAT, QCAT, and all the other CATs. But, given the number of complaints I hear about these government run services, it’s not because they are happy with these processes or the outcomes which are generally slow, cumbersome, costly, and unsatisfactory. |
