    Our Secretary paid himself through his shell company a number of large sums for time spent with lawyers / contractors without these payments being mentioned in Strata Committee Meeting Minutes or getting it approved before payment at an AGM required as per Section 25 ( now 49 of SSMA ) of old Strata Act. No Strata-specialist lawyer was prepared to help us fight with the dominant strata management company at NCAT. At NSW Fair Trading, there was no help really. At NCAT, we were asked to get ourselves represented by a lawyer.The exorbitant fees ( demanded by the only lawyer prepared to represent us ) forced us to drop the case at NCAT.
