Hang on. No SC. That means no strata committee?
So how is the strata manager getting instructions?
The strata manager can be delegated the functions of the chairman, secretary and treasurer but thst does not extend to making decisions of the OC.
Has a general meeting been held to confirm the lawyer.? To decline mediation at NCAT?
I think you have a strata manager that’s overstepping their authority.
If you ever get to NCAT on this issue, I’d raise with the tribunal whether the strata manager or the lawyer isvauthorised to represent the OC.
You may find you are fighting no one and get a judgement in your favour because the other side did not turn up.
