Firstly, thanks for all the replies.
I have read the articles of association and the MUD act is my friendly bedtime reading companion. I am aware of my entitlements and what SHOULD be happening and what I should be able to access, however, I am being thwarted at every opportunity.
The complex comprises of 800 units, this is divided into 4 management companys - the company of which I am Director comprises of 200 units, a mix of apartments and houses, no commercial units. They have not handed over common areas, which I know they should have and this is being pursued by my solicitor.
The voting rights that they have are under some scrutiny at the moment by my solicitor as it turns out that if they have not registered the vacant units with the land registry they don't have any voting rights on them, this was something I had not heard of before, but apparently it is common practice until a unit is "sold" and while it is still in the developers company name. Even if this is the case, they are still liable for fees on those units under the MUD act - my problem is that I cannot get complete access to bank mandates, accounts and all the other vital information to be able to find out why we are in such bad shape financially. Crucially, I need to get control of the Board for the members for that to happen.
I think the answer to my question is that an EGM will have to take place.
Thanks again.
