Hi Hyacinth

Carpets

I suggest you:

1.submit a written motion to the secretary of the OC requesting a resolution be passed to correct the defect asap; and

2.if the OC fails to consider the motion after two months, lodge an application for an order by an adjudicator at the Consumer Trader & Tenancy Tribunal under section 138 of Strata Schemes Management Act requiring the OC to carry out the repair.

Insurance

EC members are insured for negligent acts. They are not insured for fraud or reckless behaviour and may be personally liable for loss arising from this conduct and may also face fines and the cost of a legal defence for breach prosecutions (for which they are uninsured). Fines and prosecution might arise for breaches of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000 (NSW).

Let me know if you have any questions.
