If another standard contract ( purchase of car for example ) is used as a base for a new strata contract, this may reduce the opportunity for SCA to claim copyright infringement on the improved contract.
But then you have to find a competent strata manager who’ll agree to sign away their extraordinary protection under the SCA contract.
In this regard, if no other, SCA sails perilously close to operating as a cartel while at the same time touting its professional integrity via the Professional Standards Scheme. They can’t have it both ways and I will raise this with the SCA, the Fair Trading minister, another minister whom I know is frustrated by one-sided strata management contracts and maybe even the Fair Trading Commissioner, Rose (the invisible woman) Webb.
