Hi Bonnie
I am interested in this question too . As with our situation the owners have not been told the outcome of the Tribunal or how much it cost them to fight us . This I find astounding but I don’t think there are any rules/laws on this. if there are I would love to know.
Our minutes were massaged to the point the owners had no idea who was taking who to the Tribunal or what it was about or how much money was involved.They were told not to come to the EGM and told how to vote or to give their votes to the committee. Our minutes are propaganda for the Strata committee and the Strata manager. Eventually the owners will have to find out something but I don’t know how. Perhaps when they get a special levy.
I do know you have the right to ask for all information from the Strata manager on any legal issues. If they don’t deliver you can go to Fair Trading . You can also ask for the costs of the legal activity.They may charge you for their time which is legal but I find that offensive, you are an owner and have a right to know about your investment and your building. I think that rule is there to stop people driving their Strata crazy. If the info were put into the minutes you wouldn’t have to ask.
We asked our Strata manager to send the findings of the Tribunal to the owners as we felt they had a right to know the truth. He ignored our email. The owners still don’t know and we will try to send out to the owners we have details for but again getting a recent Strata Roll is almost impossible.
