    Just an observation for those reading this far.

    Strata living is sometimes infuriating. There are things in strata thst bug us.

    The actions of others as they affect us , I see dividing into two area. Things that are morally questionable ( but strata legal) and things that are strata illegal.

    The tribunal will not solve nor entertain the immoral behaviour ( unless it is strata illegal). If you are going to start action through the tribunal make absolutely sure which part of the act you are going to rely on.

    The OC in a friend’s building had action taken against it by an owner who did not like an increase in levies. His grounds were that he could not afford to pay the increase. After a directions hearing the owner eventually got legal advice, which advised him he didn’t have a case. He withdrew the action.

    And when you get to the tribunal, it’s like every other court. It’s up to the applicant to prove to the member the section of the act that’s been breached, and the evidence to prove it.  (In the above matter the OC had over 200 pages of evidence prepared to refute the owner).
