Sir Humphrey,
Maybe I am being too simplistic when it comes to the intricacies of laws & legislation and the fact that lawyers love to play with words, but :
On the basis that SSMA 2015 is ‘owned’ and ‘administered’ by Fair Trading then I would have thought that they would/should be the ones to state whether or a not a specific by-law is ‘valid’ or not, particularly when it comes to length of stay ie. 1 week vs 1 month vs 3 months vs 6 months vs 12 months.
Who wants to go thru the rigmarole of going to the NCAT just ‘as a test case’ ?
( By-laws should not be in place just so the committee can use them as a means to beat owners about the head and ‘threaten’ them with legal action/a fine )
