dbpc2000 Posted August 30, 2011 at 02:42 AM Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 at 02:42 AM Our HOA Board has a situation where a member (resident) is threatening a law suit. We have already been to mandatory (by the State Statues) mediation. If a board member brings up something the presiding officer believes violates attorney client privilege can they call the member out of order? If not, is there another way to stop this member and conversation and move on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be advisable to discuss the matter in executive session. If not, is there another way to stop this member and conversation and move on?Ask him nicely not to prior to the meeting.

I doubt the board is acting as anyone's attorney, but I'll leave that legal matter to others. As far as RONR is concerned, I don't see grounds for ruling the member or his topic out of order. However, any member can raise a point of order, if he believes a rules has been violated, and it will be for the chair and ultimately the assembly to decide.
