    Thanks for the replies. Yes I think there is no doubt that the developer while in charge of the owners corporation did not act with due dilegence and for personal gain. As you point out we could prove it, but to what end? There are no real prescribed penalties, so it would just end up an expensive bun fight with no real result. 

    We are however pursuing them for costs and to strike an agreement that this arrangement is at no cost now and in to the future to the owners corporation. If all else fails we will go public as I think the developer, who is still developing properties in Melbourne, will not want the bad publicity and would be more worried about that than any threat of legal action. So any contacts at the Melbourne Age for future reference would be good – just in case! 

    Will let you know how we get on….
