Thank you everyone. Other owners I’ve checked with this morning say they do not know whether our cleaners and gardeners are contractors or employees or whether written agreements have been entered into with them or any other facts. Friends from other strata schemes said that even though their OC’s cleaners and gardeners are contractors, they still have WC cover. So the impression I’m getting from SaltyOne (see reply above) and from friends is that many OCs have WC cover as a backup on a just in case basis. Some people could possibly view this as a duplication but to me, it seems a very worthwhile one. Now, how to diplomatically approach the SM and strata committee and convince them to reinstate our WC cover. Does anyone know of any relevant court decisions that I could show the SM, SC and other owners as a persuasion tool? If so, I’d appreciate the case name/s.
