will excluding him from all decisions annoy him at least?
It may depend if you want revenge of for him to do his bit. if the former, exclude him from all decisions, then proceed to use his lweast favoutite pain colour, remove cycle racks and buy barbeques allround. if the latter, solicitors letter is probably the way to go and should be fairly cheap.

We'd all rather he did his bit.

you'd all rather he fucked off out of the block by the sounds of things

Yes, that would be good. Can't see it happening though.

solicitor's letter then setting out his legal responsibilities and pray he's stupid enough to be scared of it.

he's a vegan, therefore is clearly an idiot

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 21 Jan 2013, 15:13, Reply)

yeah, but there's at least 2 kinds of idiot.
one type will be scared by the legal language and actually comply, the other will think he can win a protracted legal battle and embark on one.

Even I agree with this.

but what legal responsibilities?
if he isn't part of the freeholder, provided he complies with the terms of his lease, then he IS complying with his legal responsibilities. there'd need to be something in his lease obliging him to do this kind of thing. if there is, then the freeholder is the only person who can make him do it. via the courts if he refuses.

i'm not saying he isn't an anti-social cunt.

We have articles of association for a residents association and a delegation of authority in place from the freeholder
Which as I understand it allows the RA to get work done without having to involve the freeholder (who would charge a fee to manage it).

The articles place equal responsibility on all residents to play an active role in the management of the maintenance of the building, in addition to paying their contribution.

that is very good for such a small block
if more people had such things, their lives would run more smoothly. then the best bet is to highlight his responsibilities in the agreement and say, either join in or we'll get legal on your ass.
