Hello. The next avenue is the District Court. A family friend works for Makson D’Apice and confirmed that this is our only option to proceed if we want to appeal the ridiculous decision. However she also advised us the amount of money we would need to fight this. It is in the range or 25-50 grand. If you win you can be awarded costs but it is never for the full amount. We don’t have pockets deeep enough to take this course of action so have effectively been screwed over by the clowns at the CTTT.
The other sides only evidence produced was a receipt for a hall runner and a carpeted mat that didn’t even cover all of the lounge room. This trumped noise recordings, stat decs, a expert noise report recommending carpet and underlay be installed and a an extensive noise diary that covered a six month period.
Good luck to all taking action in the CTTT but keep your expectations very low.
