One of the fascinating things about this is it seems (and I can only say “seems”) that the owners who joined in on the Tribunal action won’t have to pay a share of any of the costs incurred in defending the action – about $75,000.
It would be interesting to hear how it was communicated to owners that if they didn’t join the tribunal action would be liable for legal costs. I’m assuming that if the tribunal action was unsuccessful then those who launched it would have been liable for the legal costs.
For those just want to live a quiet life in their strata building, it seems quite easy to be caught in a no win situation, where the wrong choice is going to leave you liable for large costs you really don’t understand.
