So in effect Jimmy this Bylaw switches the onus from the Owners Corporation to the individual owner on the starting up of any NCAT proceedings. This way the the individual owner who has had their levy garnished of the indiscriminate costs over an alleged breach will then have to take the reins to get their money back. Keeping in mind they use their own money to fight in NCAT while the OC has legal defence insurance. Defence being the important word here. So this will cost the OC nothing but the owner could get burned.
What a wonderful way for lawyers and Strata managers and Owners corporations to make money from this By law. After some time in the Tribunal myself I see a distinct bias against the individual owner. I also see a triad of lawyers committees and Strata managers working together, a very hard nut to crack if you are an individual owner. Most folks wouldn’t know this by law is outrageous they would just accept their lot pardon the pun.
