21 resolutions in 21 days – Episode 11
Why we are ditching the references to “body corporate” (or more ways AMT missed the opportunity to become real estate magnates)
This one is a hangover from when AMT was incorporated in NSW and the model rules had a different meaning attached to “body corporate”.
AMT incorporated nationally more than twenty years ago so removing outdated references to “body corporate” reflects their lack of relevance to our legal structure under the Corporations Act 2001.
The “body corporate” terminology carries legal implications that don’t apply to our governance or compliance requirements. It’s like wearing your grandfather’s suit to a wedding, even though it doesn’t fit and really isn’t appropriate for the occasion.
