Owners’ access to legal advice to strata committee

OC approved a motion for the EC to ‘act on their behalf’ to engage with a lawyer with regards to implementing new by-laws. Despite indicating ‘Yes, yes we will consult with the OC…’ no such consultation ever took place and they have pushed thru motions which they have essentially dictated. Requests by OC members to view the relevant documentation of discussions, decisions etc with the lawyer, they have refused. Wouldn’t the documents belong to the OC, though the secretary would be the ‘custodian’ ? Shouldn’t he provide the doco when requested ?

Please advise.
