    Hi dnighttime,

    I am totally appalled to hear how this has turned out. The only advice I can give you at this point is to appeal the decision.

     

    Unfortunately the CTTT web site states :”If you want to appeal a Tribunal Member’s decision made following the hearing of a strata and community schemes matter, you will need to appeal against the decision to the District Court of NSW.”

    Appeals may be made to the District Court of NSW under section 67 of the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal Act 2001

    The grounds for an appeal to the District Court is that the CTTT made an error when it decided a question with respect to a matter of law.  Appeals to the District Court must be made within 28 days from the date the CTTT’s order is made.”.

     

    An alternative is to Appeal to the Supreme Court as follows:”

    Appeals may be made to the Supreme Court of NSW under section 65 of the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal Act 2001. 

    The grounds for an appeal to the Supreme Court include that there was a denial of procedural fairness or that the CTTT did not have jurisdiction to make the order.”

    I would strongly advise seeking sound legal advise before you proceed.

    You have my deepest sympathies.
