The agenda of a general meeting

Application pratique:

Under this case law, the agenda is not limited to the requesting co-owner's items. The managing agent can lawfully add supplementary matters. To challenge this, the co-owner would need to prove an abuse of process or irregularity in the convening notice, but the mere addition of items is permitted. He should review all documents, attend the meeting, and vote, while seeking legal advice if he suspects the additions are intended to dilute his original request. Any challenge must be brought within two months of the meeting.

Application pratique:

The Cour de cassation confirms you may supplement the agenda beyond the requester's items. This allows you to address multiple pressing issues in one session, saving time and assembly costs. Ensure the supplementary items are clearly described in the convening notice sent at least 21 days before the meeting, and attach all supporting documents. This practice respects the law and improves building management efficiency, but be transparent to avoid disputes.

Application pratique:

Under this decision, the agenda is not limited to items requested in the petition. The managing agent can lawfully add further matters. As a new co-owner, you must now carefully review all agenda items, attend the meeting or give a proxy, and vote on each resolution. If you feel the added items were unnecessary or not properly documented, you can consult a lawyer, but the supplementing of the agenda itself is legally valid. Use this as a lesson to stay informed about co-ownership governance and always read the full convening notice.
