Can a chair limit assign a time limit of between 1 and 1 and a half hours for the AGM and general meetings?
It is usual to assign a time limit for AGM and General meetings? Our secretary believes it should be open ended but as Chairperson and a busy worker I think a time frame between 1 to 1.5 hours is reasonable for a 3 lot strata. Can a chairperson make this decision for the owners corporation?
Theoretically, yes, because the role of the Chairperson is to make determinations on procedural matters.
Theoretically, yes, provided:
- no detriment is caused,
- everyone has a reasonable opportunity to raise any issues and
- every statutorily required motion can be considered in that time.
The role of the Chairperson is to make determinations, among other things, on procedural matters – see below (emphasis added):
