Can an unfinancial committee member vote on motions at committee meetings?

If a committee member becomes unfinancial after the AGM, can they still vote on motions at strata committee meetings, or does being unfinancial affect their eligibility to vote?

A committee member who owes a body corporate debt at the time of voting on a motion at a committee meeting is ineligible to vote in their own right, or as proxy for another committee member.

A ‘debtor member’ of the committee who owes a body corporate debt at the time of voting on a motion at a committee meeting is ineligible to vote in their own right, or as proxy for another committee member. Similarly, someone who holds the debtor member’s proxy cannot exercise a vote on behalf of the member.

Also note that if the committee member is not an owner but was nominated by an owner who owes a body corporate debt at the time of the committee meeting, that committee member is also ineligible to vote.
