Question: Do lot owners have a right or the means to verify the legitimacy of proxy forms at a meeting?
Answer: It’s the role of the chairperson to validate proxies.
It’s the role of the chairperson to validate proxies. In extreme cases with difficult and challenging meetings in large schemes you may need to involve a lawyer to make that decision.
We had one meeting in a difficult building where a lawyer validated all the proxies and said “yes” or “no”. The lawyer was at the meeting as well. Usually the strata manager or the chairperson determines the validity of the proxies.
