This article discusses strata committee criminal convictions, including whether a dishonesty offence prevents someone from serving and how the legislation addresses eligibility.
Question: If a person has been convicted of a dishonesty offence are they precluded from being a committee member? If so, does a time limit apply?
Answer: The Strata Title Act is silent on this, however the Community Titles Act does address this.
The Strata Title Act is silent on this, however the Community Titles Act states under Term or Service – Section 91, that a members office becomes vacant if the member is convicted of an indictable offence or sentenced to imprisonment for an offence. There is no mention in the Act or the regulations as to any limit of time that this would apply for.
