Hi Struggler,

All this means is that the owners of the lot own the courtyard also, but the airspace of the courtyard only extends to 1 meter below the surface (you own up to 1 meter below the ground and anything in it) and 3 meters above, except where covered.

So if there is a tree in your courtyard, you one the bit that extends down 1 meter into the ground, and then the bit that is 3 meters high, anything above this is the OC’s responsibility.

This is all in simple terms, hope this helps.
