An owner is about to sell. Their solicitor has requested a copy of the latest owners' meeting minutes. As secretary, am I required to provide the information? Is the solicitor an ‘interested party’?

An owner, or someone authorised by an owner, is entitled to search the records of their strata plan.

An owner, or someone authorised by an owner, is entitled to search the records of their strata plan. Therefore, the solicitor representing an owner should be allowed to request access to strata records, including recent meeting minutes.

The records for the building belong to the owners, not just the person who maintains the records or the strata committee.
