Just rang and spoke to fair trading. They said that attendance is compulsory at mediation! Not that I hope matters here go that far. Am hoping if I indicate that I have been talking to fair trading and about taking them to mediation with be enough for them to stand up and take action on all matters. Fair trading also said that you can’t take the executive committee to mediation, only the owners corporation. Though as my EC’s members are not familiar with the act in any way,shape or form, I may be able to really get their attention by saying I intend to take them. If they haven’t read the act, let alone the bylaws, or arranged any work in the complex in years, I don’t see them hitting the books anytime soon.
