Question: Can the owners corporation act on the minutes of an EGM before the minutes are distributed to the lot owners?
Answer: Because the decisions are made at the meeting, provided the matter is not contentious, there is no need to wait for the issuance of minutes.
In our view, because the decisions are made at the meeting itself, provided the matter is not contentious, there is no need to wait for the issuance of minutes (which are the record of decisions made) within 14 days later. For example, at an AGM, the number of members of a strata committee will be decided, and at the strata committee meeting held immediately after that, the strata committee vote to fill the positions i.e. before the issuance of minutes. Even if you were to postpone action until after the circulation of the minutes of the meeting, such minutes are not “confirmed” as accurate until the next general meeting.
