    JimmyT said   I wouldn’t dismiss this so readily based on the original post …

    Perhaps the OP can clarify but I took the original post to mean the OC is forced to repeatedly take the owner to VCAT for not paying their fees.   And not the other way around. (which means the OP has the thread title a bit wrong)

    Unfortunately, as VCAT has stated many times, previous cases have been decided penalty wise so can’t be used in the current case.

    I think what’s needed in the Victorian OC legislation is the possibility of a penalty for repeat offences.

    Note that if VCAT orders are actually ignored, VCAT have been known to issue $10,000 fines for contempt of VCAT.
