    Hi, I am the Chairperson of an HoA and have inherited a High Court case from the previous Board. The spend was never made transparent to the Home Owners, nor was the intention to go High Court. What recourse, if any, do I have to the previous Board? The Community wants to drop the High Court case (SGM was held), yet I have 2 Directors who are supporting the ex Board and refusing to act in accordance to the SGM minutes. The attorney, representing the HoA, refuses to drop the case unless Board resolution is shared. The current Board is split and hence the case remains pending.
