What are the rules for annual condominium co-owner meeting ?

[zenplay]

Hello.

3 weeks ago, we had the annual co-owner meeting in my condo in Bangkok (Sansiri, 440 units).

A few people (around 30) attended the meeting. I was the only one farang.

Regarding the agenda, we were asked to vote for some questions about investment to change CCTV, change sofa in lobby, and some others things.

We were surprised that the vote was not made in real time, but we had to fill a paper to specify our choices.

Moreover, 3 weeks later, we still do not know the results of the vote !!

What are the real rules for co-owner meeting and votes for condo ?

Thank you for your help.

Did the voting allocation of the 30 who attended ,together with the voting allocations of any proxies,represent 25% of the total building vote ?

If not ,then the only way that your AGM was legal was if it was a 2nd meeting where the 25% quorum rule does not apply..

When you say the vote was not made in real time-do you mean that the vote was not counted and declared during the meeting

The Condominium Act does not specifically forbid the practice that you have described . That said ,if the meeting was officially closed -then it difficult to see how a vote count can occur when the meeting is closed.

Was the meeting officially closed?

Right, the vote was not counted and declared during the meeting. And we still do not know the result, 3 weeks after.

Yes, the meeting was officialy closed.

This is indicative of a crap (and quite possibly corrupt) management company and committee. Ours rarely publishes any results of anything.

If the meeting was closed ,then it is closed.

The minutes cannot deal with anything post a closed meeting.

Maybe the chairman needs some education and training-or a change of attitude
