Can a body corporate committee member who is financially sound for the unit they represent but has one unit with an unpaid levy due to a pending property sale still participate in committee meetings and voting?
A body corporate committee member owns thirteen lots in our body corporate. They have paid the levies for twelve of their lots, but one remains unpaid. This lot is tied up in the settlement of the unit’s sale with the unpaid levy.
The committee member is financial for the unit they represent on the committee. Can they still vote in committee meetings, or is there any issue with them technically being unfinancial for one unit?
I think they are entitled to vote on the committee.
I think that if they are financial for the other 12 lots, and one of those was the lot they nominated for, they are entitled to vote on the committee.
