When Jimmy says one would have to go to another court first to gain a favourable status, what does he mean?
What I meant to say – and would have if spellcheck hadn’t led me up the garden path – was that if there is a claim of co-ownership on a property by someone who is not clearly a co-owner (such as anyone in an informal relationship with the owner of the lot) that has to be determined elsewhere before it can be considered for inclusion on the strata roll.
However the strata Act does allow for an “Interested Person” to run cases related to the management of a building at the CTTT. Included in the definitions of ‘Interested Person” is this:
interested person, in relation to a freehold strata scheme, means … an owner of a lot in, a person having an estate or interest in a lot in, or an occupier of a lot in, the strata scheme.
So I was wrong to say that people had to be on the strata roll to be able to run a case at the CTTT. If they are an occupier and, as a spouse, a co-owner by default if not actually registered on the strata roll, I would think they would be an “interested person” on two counts. Apologies for the bum steer.
