AGM Our Strata Manager says that no one except the chair is allowed to speak at an AGM.

I believe, in accordance with meeting procedures that a Motion is read out by the mover of the motion who is then allowed to speak for the motion. The chair should then ask if there are any owners who wish to speak for or against the motion.

Is this correct?

Is a motion submitted by a lot owner the same as a lot owner asking for a decision to be made by the committee? Can a motion be a question seeking clarification of the committee's progress on implementation of a previous action agreed to at a committee meeting?

At our AGM the chairman held the view that a Committee motion should be ruled out of order although a majority of committee members disagreed with that view, as did the strata manager.

Nevertheless the chairperson felt obliged to put the motion to the AGM and the motion was resolved in the affirmative.

The motion was out of order as it contravened a by-law.

Is the Committee obliged to comply with the motion even though compliance would contravene a by-law? What alternative action should be taken?

I am the chairperson of a BCC. We have an AGM coming up. Our Body Corporate Managers have received a motion from one of our Lot's but the name on the motion is not the same as per the Qld Land Titles Registry. Does this make the motion invalid?

Our Body Corporate Committee has three motions at our AGM that I believe are not legal:

1. Any owner that doesn't live in the building is not allowed to stand for the Committee.
2. Any owner that has a Breach is not allowed to stand for the Committee.
3. Use of proxies to appoint new committee.

Over the past 6 weeks, the BCC has issued nearly 40 breaches for trivial issues against all people wishing to stand against a useless and draconian committee.

Are the motions valid? If not, what can I do about it?
