    I had a look at the strata plan and there are NO wall lines inside each unit. So the wall is his even though it’s structural. The 1996 NSW act prohibits (s.116) interfering with support for another lot. So does the 2015 NSW act (s.151) but also requires (s.152) written notice to the O.C.

     

    A footnote to s.152 mentions approvals needed to carry out work affecting common property which the floor slab of the unit above certainly is. The footnote presumably is referring to s.111 which seems to require a special resolution (and hence an EGM) in our case.

     

    Jimmy T, I like your idea of going to a lawyer at the owner’s expense. The threat of having something on his title which might make his unit difficult to sell is a pretty potent one.
