    There must be some way of dealing with a ratbag resident who enjoys dragging his or her neighbours to NCAT, even when they know they are going to lose.

    The by-law could be a way forward, especially if the strata committee seeks costs if it goes to NCAT.  And costs are awarded under certain circumstances, as has happened to a very distressed reader who wrote to me today saying she’s had legal costs of $40k awarded against her.

    If anyone’s interested this document outlines the “special circumstances” under which NCAT can order costs
