I was going to tag my comment onto one of the other threads but instead decided to start afresh.

I recently resigned from my executive committee after the stress of our OC being taken to the CTTT by a bewilderingly disgruntled (and probable early stage dementia sufferer) neighbour. I phoned one of the legal firms that visits and comments on this site, and was unable to get onto the subject of my phone call – ME and my fears around my litigious and elderly neighbour, asking as an owner! The call got subsumed by the fact that I currently was the Chair of the committee. Ending the call in tears, I promptly resigned from the EC, for fear of responsibilities that I believe no property owner SHOULD have to take on! Meanwhile, I didn't attend to my own legal queries, and came away believing both the strata system and the legal system are monsters!!

Whilst on the Executive I had phoned my neighbour's lawyers and was repeatedly told I was taking it too personally, yet I truly found that the accusatory letters to the Owners of my block, were unfair. They would only talk to the strata manager, yet the buck stops with the owners. What a bad bad system!

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
