    Jimmy T and scotlandx – See below for two Tribunal Orders from QLD that refer to the principle of Acquiescence. In these instances Acquiescence on the part of the body corporate was in relation to failure  of the body corporate to issue a By-law Breach Notice within a timely manner for animal by-laws, and appearance of a lot. This principle may apply across jurisdictions:

    Acquiescence.  Such a beautiful word.  But not when it comes to by-law enforcement.   

    Enforcing by-laws is not an optional activity. By-laws must be enforced, and the responsibility for their enforcement lies with the committee.
