To add to Jimmy T’s comment …. if things ever became ‘nasty’ (which I hope that they won’t do) then your friend can always claim that the EC, in failing to act to serve a Notice to Comply for a period of 7 to 8 years, has Acquiesced to the owner’s air conditioner.
It is difficult to believe that over a period of 7 to 8 years that someone from the EC or OC did not know that your friend had installed an air conditioner on the exterior wall.
Acquiescence refers to allowing too much time to pass since knowledge of an event which may have allowed legal recourse against another, implying that the person has waived their rights to that legal recourse. Acquiescence by the owner’s corporation for a number of years can amount to a deemed authorisation.
