    Just for clarity, this is what section 57 of the Act says about strata managers’ breaches.  This kind of contradicts what I said in my initial response.  Basically, if the OC tells the strata manager to do something illegal and they do it, the strata manager is culpable.

    57 Breaches by strata managing agent

    (1) If a strata managing agent has been delegated a function by an owners corporation and a breach of the duty by the owners corporation would constitute an offence under a provision of this Act, the agent is guilty of an offence under that provision (instead of the owners corporation) for any breach of the duty by the agent occurring while the delegation remains in force.
