JimmyT, thanks for that suggestion, I thought if all else fails, we should do the mediation at the OFT but I know realise that would require a specific order to be sought which may not faciliate goodwill, the CJC might be a better option now you raise it.
We have an AGM next week (first general meeting with the new owner & the new strata manager so it will be a ‘let’s get all the cards on the table’ type of meeting). I have clued the strata manager in on what has happened & she has agreed to explain nicely the reasoning behind strata legislation and assist us to recitfy the paperwork part as much as possible. The rest of the OC will probably express some annoyance regarding the way things have transpired however, we also intend to express our forgiveness (depending on the attitude of course) & willingness to provide relevant information (as you suggested) and to work with them on this & any other future issues. I very much want to live in peace and get on my neighbours/fellow OC members (as well as not worry everytime I hear a hammer fall or see their son-in-law/builder), for all our sakes.
I have reserved my judgement on whether the intention is arrogance, ignorance or stupidity (I rule out malice on this one) – I have a gut feeling a little bit of all of them may be involved but that is OK, it doesn’t have to continue, it’s up to them & the OC will respond accordingly, that’s all we can do.
