Question: Is the strata manager obliged to advise, well before the meeting, if the proxy form has been filled in correctly?
Does our strata management company have a legal or moral responsibility to advise us if a proxy form has been filled in correctly? Recently, the strata manager had plenty of time to advise the error and give us time to rectify the form, but we were not advised that it was invalid until the meeting. The vote was, amongst other things, whether to remain with this strata company.
Answer: It is up to each owner to take advice on such matters.
It is up to each owner to take advice on such matters. The strata manager doesn’t usually advise of the validity of forms before the meeting, however, if they are acting as chairperson, they will make a ruling on forms before the meeting commences.
