Carol Altmann – The Terrier
Tonight we are launching a Go Fund Me campaign on behalf of the Warrnambool community as the first step toward taking Lyndoch Living to court.
It’s time for action.
A group of community philanthropists has been working on this legal challenge for some time and have now reached the point where a barrister can be engaged.
The crowdfunding will pay for expert advice from a barrister who is the Australian specialist in this field of the law.
The advice will consider the best way to frame a case against the Lyndoch board – both collectively and as individual board members – on whether they have failed in their duty to uphold the original spirit and purpose of Lyndoch.
This failure includes the rejection of all general membership applications by the community these past two years.
It’s time for action.
This is the first step in a legal process that will probably take place in either the County Court or the Supreme Court.
We have been ignored, silenced, pressed down, rejected and dismissed by the board for more than two years.
Enough.
We are now moving, as a community, to hold the Lyndoch board to account.
To take the first step, we need to raise $5000.
This is the equivalent of 100 people donating $50, or 1000 people donating $5 each.
Chip in what you can afford.
It reminds me of the days of buying a raffle ticket to support Lyndoch – except this time the prize is not a car, but Lyndoch itself: keeping Lyndoch a community asset, fully accountable to the community it serves.
A professional legal opinion from the best in the field is the first step.
We have already explored the next step: receiving pro bono (free of charge) support to run the case in court. We have received some very positive responses.
Now is the time for action.
Let’s go.
