Hey Two Crows,
I think it may be 6-7 year Limit for defects liability / builder’s liability period. I think it’s also proof of when or if the defects that caused damage ” could have been reasonably seen in a normal inspection ” . Is Strata now seeking a ” Special Levy ” to fix these defects and not using the defects liability insurance? You could try ask the reasonable inspection argument, I’m no Lawyer but have seen this line of reply in some published articles.
You Should ask Jimmy T, that’s why developers have been barred from putting in a mate as the Strata Mgr as they would defer the the defects liability until the claimable period was over so their friend was free from fixing faults.
