Administrator states it could not hold Saturday's meeting due to "unprecedented and exceptional circumstances" but promises to arrange one soon.
On Saturday, the day the gathering was scheduled and the deadline set by the Lands Tribunal last week under the Building Management Ordinance, Hop On Management Company issued a notice to Wang Fuk Court residents regarding the postponement.
The tribunal had rejected Hop On’s bid to delay the extraordinary general meeting, determining it did not have the power to do so.
According to the ordinance, the management committee chairman must call a general meeting within 14 days of a request from at least 5 percent of homeowners and hold it within 45 days. That 14-day deadline expired on May 13.
On April 29, 247 owners of Tai Po’s Wang Fuk Court—representing over 12 percent of its 1,984 households—submitted a petition to Hop On requesting a meeting for displaced residents to address its handling of issues stemming from the fire, which claimed 168 lives and left nearly 5,000 people displaced.
Hop On stated it had been working to organize the meeting amid "unprecedented and exceptional circumstances."
"At the same time, resources have been allocated to carrying out and advancing various related tasks, with the goal of facilitating the meeting as soon as possible," it said.
