Jimmy, as to your recommendation of going to Ncat, as you know it is a complex and often expensive process, the following question must be on the minds of many in this forum: do you know of any law firms that do pro bono work on strata matters? I ask because FT is in my experience not very helpful – thety are not lawyers after all – and hiring a strata lawyer to represent a single owner as in this matter is both expensive and even if successful, costs will not be awarded.
If pro bono lawyers are not available and the only option is so -called legal centres, staffed by young ‘uns or withdrawing the case, then the system is even more unjust than most of us believe.
