Meeting closed!

Hi guys,

We recently had our Extraordinary Meeting over Zoom with members of the Strata Committee, Strata Manager and Owner’s Corporation in attendance. I was hoping to bring up some points for discussion but it didn’t get that far as the Chairman of the Strata Committee, whilst squabbling with another owner, instructed the Strata Manager to end the Zoom meeting, to which the Strata Manager abruptly did.

This matter will now be awaiting Fair Trading mediation. It’s not my matter but i had questions nonetheless that influenced my voting.

My first question is, can the Chairman of the Strata Committee just instruct the Strata Manager to close the meeting at their discretion like that?

and secondly, the Fair Trading mediation will be conducted over phone. Has anyone been through this process before? I don’t have a landline. Will smartphone suffice? If it’s a three hour plus long meeting, will i have an expensive bill? I guess it will be Fair Trading calling me so it’s their bill. I’m in NSW.
