Hi Ziggy
Our SC member we were having the most trouble with didn’t bother to turn up to our mediation so we arrived with two lawyers so did the owners corp and it was a total waste of time.
We had been warned by other owners that the committee would not honour their resolution at the mediation. The owners were not notified that committee member did not attend. Plus he is paid an enormous honorarium.
Cost us a bomb and what we ended up agreeing to in the mediation was ignored by the SC. Our mediator was useless also and it deteriorated into a name calling exercise.
At first I felt like I got a bit off my chest but afterwards I realised it was unproductive. You are not even allowed to report to owners what happened in mediation as it is all confidential. This makes no sense at all to me.
It gives parties the chance to say anything they want and not stand by it. The owners had no idea what went on and what it was all about. Again the committee were able to control the information that filtered back.
I am amazed at how many unhappy strata bunnies are out there. I have worried about you since your private message and think about you a lot. Hang in there Ziggy…… Call Four Corners !!!!! Insight !!!!! Would love to see my committee chased down the road by Current Affair !!!
