    A motion passed that one of the committee members who also is a solicitor and one of the people claiming a parking spot will do this and be paid.

    Well, there’s a breach of strata law right there for a start.  Committee members can only be paid retrospectively – i.e. for the previous year as agreed by a majority at the next AGM – for work done on behalf of the scheme.

    I would immediately lodge a request for mediation with a view to seeking orders under section 232 that the payments be held over and the issue be taken to an independent surveyor, acceptable to all parties, for resolution.  Do it now before this goes too far.  Mediation at Fair Trading is free.
