Strata manager playing hardball over arrears

I hope someone can help, recently i was in arrears of over $12,000 but thanks to a solicitor got it down to by $3000 to just over $9000 I paid almost 3/4 quarters of it and it was bought down to $3700 but now the strata manager has proceeded to take legal action after a meeting was held of the owners corp.  No one but myself attended it was done by proxy and out of 5 units, 1 was unfinancial, 1 never answered. I was of the impression that a owner could not vote if they were not financial and a meeting to seek legal action was to be in person, also can someone tell can a strata manager do this for such a small amount.  I have been told that the manager is annoyed because I questioned him and his tactics and now he is seeking revenge.  Please help.
