    Thanks, Mr Strata. It was the schedule 1 by-laws in the Act that I was referring to … and all these years I’ve been wrongly calling them the model by-laws.

    But it makes me think that every opportunity that exists to complicate something that should be simple is leapt upon by our legislators.

    I’m sure there’s a good reason why we have Schedule 1 by-laws in the Act and ‘Model” by-laws (3 different sets for residential strata alone, I believe) in the Regulations – I just can’t think of one.

    And I’m certainly not going to make any assumptions but am I wrong in thinking that the Schedule 1 by-laws are only compulsory in the absence of any other by-laws and the “Model” by-laws in the regulations have no legal standing at all (unless they are actively adopted by a strata plan)?

    I suppose they give new complexes a starting point but it seems an awfully complicated way of going about it.
