The Statutes of La Torre Golf Resort Community are a lengthy piece of work and cover many items which are not mentioned in the Horizontal Property Act. These statutes were devised by the builder of the resort, Polaris World SL. It is perhaps important to remember, statutes are rules which owners agree to live by. They set down standards which promote the harmonious running of a community.

They are effectively a civil contract between owners. Terms of a contract are variable as long as the parties to the contract agree. So statutes are not written in stone - but to vary them, does require all the owners to agree to the change and this change must not contravene the Horizontal Property Act. Statutes are changed at General Meetings of the Community and require a unanimous vote of owners present or casting a proxy vote. Even then, owners who were not present can appeal to a court against any changes. Statutes should be there to help and should not be onerous.
