<Our SC has hired a handyman to do various small jobs for a flat rate of $300,00 per month. He has no ABN and the OC was told he has a Hobby Insurance cover because he is a resident. However no other residents recognise him and his invoices display an address 30 klms away. SM dismisses questions saying because he is a resident he is covered by our SP insurance. He does a good job but need to know the OC is covered. I can not understand why SM and SC are being so reluctant to share information with Owners when asked for information >

Just so I am clear, if a SC has 7 elected members, 1 member decides to go on holidays for a couple of months, the member apparently did not have  enough confidence in remaining 6 members to nominate one of them to vote on their behalf so notified SM and other SC members that they were appointing another Owner as their proxy. From previous responses if I understand correctly this is allowable.  I am however unclear if the appointed proxy is only to join in and speak for/against/vote on any agenda matter at a meeting or  do they assume the full duties of the holidaying members eg: obtain quotes/engage trades/instruct SM etc. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
