Hi just asking,
You mention checking the strata mgt agreement. I have not as yet, but do not doubt that charging is covered by that. After all the SC in place is the one that hired him and asked him to attend NCAT and he would not have hoodwinked the SC.
My concern is not whether the agent had the legal right to charge as per his contract, it is that there was no point to him being at NCAT and hence the SC’s undocumented and unbroadcasted “decision” to agree to his fee was a naked waste of money.
I wrote “no point” because he could not possibly defend the SC as most of my issues predated his recent engagement. And the SC members at NCAT are “professionals”, who had no need for a third party to help them defend themselves. They did so vigorously by ignoring my evidence, whilst ponying up zilch evidence of their own.
They did not fool the Senior Member at NCAT.
From memory, I think the Senior Member asked the agent 3 questions during the whole hearing. Once for him to confirm a fact I raised and twice to confirm that he was still on the line (as he did not speak for over 90 mins).
