Question: Should the proxy forms be given to the strata managers before the AGM, or can the person holding the proxy deliver the form on the night of the AGM?
Answer: If the building is over 100 lots, the proxy must be delivered 24 hours before the AGM.
If the building is under 100 lots, the proxy form can be delivered to the strata manager on the night of the AGM.
If the owners corporation is over 100 lots, excluding utility lots, then that proxy form has missed the 24-hour window, and it goes to the next meeting.
We are talking about a hard 24 hours, not business hours. If the meeting is, say 6 pm on Monday, they’ve got until 6 pm on Sunday to send in the proxy, not 6 pm on Friday.
