Building Defects Information
Intentionally withholding information that ought to be included in minutes would not only be contrary to the body corporate’s obligations in relation to minutes, but also potentially raise liability issues for committee members. (Lookup Strata Queensland Strata Magazine – February 2021, page 5)
“Aside from the comprehensive body corporate record keeping obligations, the committee is obliged to ensure that “full and accurate minutes” of meetings are kept. Full and accurate records extend to include (among other things) details of correspondence, reports, notices or other documents tabled.
Intentionally withholding information that ought to be included in minutes, such as a document tabled at the meeting, would not only be contrary to the body corporate’s obligations in relation to minutes, but also potentially raise liability issues for committee members as an argument could be made out that this would not be acting in good faith and without negligence.”
