    Here's the original email sent by an understandably outraged reader:

    We just had a hearing yesterday at the CTTT trying to enforce fines for breaking a Notice To Comply. The by laws breached are quite serious involving loud disturbing domestic violence and harassment, which intimidates all other resident in the building- and has been going on for 6 years!

    We had a large file of breaches , police attendance reports, AGM and EGM minutes, tenants who broke leases due to them [the noisy neighbours], and real estate agents telling us to do something about it.

    The tribunal member didnt even look at our case, he dismissed it straight away when he couldnt find the very first minutes of the BC agreeing there had been breaches and agreeing to pursue them. We had this document and said we could produce it and asked for an adjournment, he dismissed it.

    What a JOKE! We are talking about a violent, dangerous individual who got out of jail recently and even tells the police where to go. The poor owners who it took a lot of guts just to go there to face him then had to go home worried about what will happen now as a consequence, they live in fear in their own homes!

    The CTTT encourage you to represent yourself-but then throw out cases without listening if you have made a mistake. I'm so disappointed in the system, if as a result anyone is physically harmed by this person for trying to defend their rights to live in peace the CTTT will have a lot to answer for.
