6.2The pathway and its timetable處理途徑及時間表

處理途徑及時間表The pathway and its timetable

A dispute about the validity of a resolution is brought under the dispute resolution provisions in Chapter 6 of the Act, beginning with conciliation and proceeding to adjudication, with an appeal to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal on a question of law. An adjudicator can make orders including declaring a resolution void.就決議有效性的爭議,須依該法第6章的爭議解決條文提出,先經調解,繼而進入裁決,並可就法律問題向昆士蘭民事及行政審裁處提出上訴。裁決官可作出多種命令,包括宣告決議無效。

The timetable is the difficulty for everyone. A manager whose extension is under challenge cannot give a financier certainty; a body corporate defending a resolution is spending scheme funds on a decision the owners have already made. This is the strongest argument for procedural care at the meeting, where the cost of doing it properly is an hour of preparation.時間問題對各方均構成困難。延期受到挑戰的管理人,無法向融資機構提供確定性;為決議抗辯的業主法人團體,則須就業主已作出的決定動用計劃資金。這正是在會議上審慎處理程序的最有力理由──而妥善處理的代價,不過是一小時的準備工夫。

6.3The relationship with performance與履約表現的關係

與履約表現的關係The relationship with performance

A body corporate dissatisfied with a manager sometimes treats the next top-up motion as the remedy, and votes it down. That is a legitimate exercise of the vote, and it is not a substitute for the performance regime. Refusing an extension leaves the existing term running with the same performance problem in it.對管理人不滿的業主法人團體,有時把下一次續期補足動議視為補救方法而予以否決。此屬正當行使表決權,但不能取代履約制度。拒絕延期後,現有年期仍然繼續,其中的履約問題依然存在。

Where the concern is performance, the instruments are the codes of conduct in Schedules 2 and 3, a documented record, a remedial action notice under the module, and if the breach is not remedied, termination approved by ordinary resolution at a general meeting. Those provisions address the problem. A refused extension merely defers it.若關注點在於履約,可用的工具包括附表2及附表3的行為守則、書面記錄、模組下的補救行動通知,以及在違約未獲補救時經業主大會普通決議批准的終止。上述條文能處理問題,拒絕延期則只是把問題押後。

Questions this chapter answers
On what grounds can a management rights top-up resolution be challenged in Queensland?在昆士蘭,可以甚麼理由挑戰管理權續期補足決議?

The guide lists the grounds that succeed in three groups. Procedural grounds are an explanatory note not provided with the meeting material, proxy votes counted on the motion, a ballot not conducted secretly, and a second motion of the kind in the same financial year. Substantive grounds are an increment or aggregate term exceeding the module limit and consideration given to the body corporate for agreeing, while unfair influence on the outcome of the motion is a conduct ground.本指南把成立的理由分為三類。程序性理由包括:會議資料未附解釋說明、在該動議上計入代表票、未以不記名方式投票,以及同一財政年度內第二次提交同類動議。實質性理由包括新增年期或餘下總年期超出模組上限,以及因同意事宜而向業主法人團體提供代價;以不當方式影響動議結果則屬操守理由。

How is a dispute about the validity of a Queensland body corporate resolution on a top-up resolved?就昆士蘭業主法人團體續期補足決議有效性的爭議如何解決?

A dispute about the validity of a resolution is brought under the dispute resolution provisions in Chapter 6 of the Act, beginning with conciliation and proceeding to adjudication, with an appeal to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal on a question of law. An adjudicator can make orders including declaring the resolution void.就決議有效性的爭議,須依該法第6章的爭議解決條文提出,先經調解,繼而進入裁決,並可就法律問題向昆士蘭民事及行政審裁處提出上訴。裁決官可作出多種命令,包括宣告決議無效。

What does a challenge to a top-up resolution cost the manager and the body corporate in Queensland?在昆士蘭,續期補足決議遭到挑戰對管理人及業主法人團體有何代價?

The guide says the timetable is the difficulty for everyone: a manager whose extension is under challenge cannot give a financier certainty, and a body corporate defending a resolution is spending scheme funds on a decision the owners have already made. This is described as the strongest argument for procedural care at the meeting, where the cost of doing it properly is an hour of preparation.本指南指出,時間問題對各方均構成困難:延期受到挑戰的管理人,無法向融資機構提供確定性;為決議抗辯的業主法人團體,則須就業主已作出的決定動用計劃資金。這正是在會議上審慎處理程序的最有力理由──而妥善處理的代價,不過是一小時的準備工夫。

Can a Queensland body corporate vote down a top-up to deal with a poorly performing manager?昆士蘭業主法人團體可否以否決續期補足來處理表現欠佳的管理人?

It can, and the guide describes voting down the motion as a legitimate exercise of the vote, but not a substitute for the performance regime: refusing an extension leaves the existing term running with the same performance problem in it. Where the concern is performance, the instruments are the codes of conduct in Schedules 2 and 3, a documented record, a remedial action notice under the module and, if the breach is not remedied, termination approved by ordinary resolution at a general meeting. Those provisions address the problem; a refused extension merely defers it.可以,本指南認為否決動議屬正當行使表決權,但不能取代履約制度:拒絕延期後,現有年期仍然繼續,其中的履約問題依然存在。若關注點在於履約,可用的工具包括附表2及附表3的行為守則、書面記錄、模組下的補救行動通知,以及在違約未獲補救時經業主大會普通決議批准的終止。上述條文能處理問題,拒絕延期則只是把問題押後。

This guide is general educational information, not legal, financial, tax or investment advice. Whether a particular variation is available, and how it must be approved, depends on the actual engagement or authorisation, the community management statement, the applicable regulation module and current law. Obtain independent Queensland legal advice before submitting a motion, voting on one, or executing a deed of variation. Where the English and Chinese texts differ, the English text governs. 本指南僅提供一般教育資訊,並非法律、財務、稅務或投資意見。某項變更是否可行及須如何批准,取決於實際的聘任合約或授權、社區管理聲明、適用的規管模組及現行法例。提交動議、就動議表決或簽立變更契據前,應取得獨立的昆士蘭法律意見。如中英文本有異,概以英文為準。
