In a large strata title building in SA, one unit has husband and wife joint owners. They both took proxies, both voted and jointly controlled the meeting. Was the meeting valid?
The Act does not stipulate that 1 single owner cannot hold multiple proxies and in fact, the meeting can still proceed if one party holds all proxies.
If another owner provided a proxy to the husband and the wife voted on behalf of the unit they own (or vice versa) this is completely legal. The meeting is considered to have a quorum if 50% or 50%+1 in Community Titles are present. The Act does not stipulate that 1 single owner cannot hold multiple proxies and in fact, the meeting can still proceed if one party holds all proxies.
