    That advice is way off base, the lawyer/accountant seems to be assuming that it is a matter for a court (e.g. the Supreme Court), when it is a matter for the CTTT at first (and second) instance.  As Jimmy says, the Tribunal is a low cost venue in relative terms.  The kind of mediation that is required in a court process is completely different to that in the CTTT, and as Jimmy also says you don’t need that for an application to appoint a statutory manager.

    In relation to who bears the costs, it is the party making the application, so if you make the application you pay. 

    It is very rare for costs to be awarded against a party by the CTTT.
