Re: Broken System

 Hi Sir Humphrey and Law of the Land and JimmyT

 Thanks for chiming in on my grizzle. The answer to your question  ‘What is it have they done?’,  would be easily answered  with ‘What is it  haven’t  they done?’ I speak essentially of the SC but the SM is the puppet of the former. So they are indistinguishable in the end.

 My list of  complaints is so long (with evidence to back it up) my solicitor suggested just focusing on one area which is, not maintaining common property. We have had experts in (court approved) shaking their heads in disbelief at the way we are living.

 To be perfectly honest I fear retribution so I don’t want to go into detail.  Which of course makes me feel and sound ridiculous. But until you have lived in one of these Fiefdoms you cannot fathom the impact it has on one’s life.  My advice to anyone ever considering buying into Strata is DON”T. You place your money and your property in the hands of volunteers, untrained in any way for the job . No business acumen, no building experience and no people skills. Emotionally immature despots who are attracted to being on a committee due to a hunger for control, power and the access to the considerable money available to them.

 When speaking to our Barrister he said it is a very high bar to reach to unseat a committee. He said he was prepared to have a go and we are still considering it.

 I wish you could help me, but I know you cannot.  What they have done is really not relevant. The point of my letter is that it is so hard to make  Committees answerable for their behaviour. 

 Thanks for listening, if I win I will let you know.
