So we have one set of by-laws in the the Strata Act – which are optional – and six sets of (also optional) by-laws in the regulations. Not only that, in those model by-laws in the regulations for residential strata developments, there are three options.
And then, depending on which precedent you take from which jurisdiction they may or may not be legally enforceable even if you adopt them as your by-laws.
What a crock! No wonder the CTTT is going round in circles, disappearing up its own wazoo.
OK, as of now, I am not interested in theoretical arguments about what might pertain in this situation or that. I'm happy to leave that to lawyers to argue over and, hey, if it was all straightforward and obvious, then they would be out of a job.
I appreciate everybody who's trying to work all this stuff out but as of this moment, I want to read practical advice based on real experience. These hypotheticals make my head hurt and, I don't think they get us very far.
I might open a forum for legal hypotheticals but right now, a lady wants to know if she can have a cat and in that regard, I would say one thing – if you get a pet in breach of what appears to be the by-laws, be prepared for some heartbreak if it turns out that those by-laws apply.
