Our caretaker has had his lawyer submit two motions. They have been lodged via an owner. Is this reasonable and fair for all owners and the body corporate?

That’s the way the system works.

Owners are entitled to submit motions as they choose. They can put up motions to vary management rights agreements along with anything else – approvals, change of by-laws etc etc etc.

The ultimate decision maker remains the body corporate in general meeting.

We sometimes have owners put up motions to engage us because they have a committee that chooses not to. That’s the way the system works.
