Thanks, interesting comments and quite depressing! I agree most people dont care….until it impacts on them, then its different! It confirms my opinion and clarifies why so many find strata living is becoming such a hostile environment . I think when the Strata Act was implemented there wasnt enough thought into the way one is compromished unless one accepts that cowboys rule the day. Most law abiding owners are horrified that common law is thrown out the window in Strata. Mortified if one dares to speak out and be branded a pain the backside” or worse!! To find oneself having to knock on doors to get support with the knowledge that the EC Secretary has all owners details at their fingertips and usually has already canvessed for votes
To challenge this particular act is largely untested and given the threat of having to pay OC costs if you challenge NCAT decisions its easy to understand reluctance to persue these hellish and vindictive EC’s. There is no lobbying to amend the law to improve this area its all about developers, selling off etc etc. there is no legal aid available as in other sections of law. For those curious, in NSW lawyers charge you for them to call you @ $88.00 per hour plus the costs of around $5000.00 for a simple case with no certainty of a positive result.
Apologises to those wonderful schemes who do act with integrity , respect and transparency you are the diamonds in the rough!
