Sir Humphery,
The charges you mention to recover levies im your previous post may not pass the law. I noticed at our last agm the sm no longer charges these fees for sending letters such as the $110 stage 3 recovery letter.
In the case i posted , this is what the judge had to say about one of these fees;
A number of charges are exorbitant. By way of example, the managing agent has charged the sum of $143 for issuing a statutory notice which is, in effect, a pro forma letter of demand. It is an amount which does not appear to be justifiable in terms of the degree of work done or effort involved.
