There's good news and bad news.
The bad news is that if you can't get agreement with your neighbours, this can only be sorted out in the Supreme Court.
The good news is that, unlike in strata and the CTTT, the Supreme Court can award both damages and costs. In other words, if you have a very strong case you can expect to have most of your costs covered and maybe evenn get damages awarded in tyour favour.
But that's a big if.
I would try to make use of the Community Justice Centre's free mediation service (CLICK HERE) in the first instance. Failing that (or at the same time) I'd be getting in touch with a specialist strata lawyer who has some experience in Company Title.
Obviously strata by-laws don't apply in your building but there may be something in the articles of the building that you haven't noticed. And there may be other remedies available that we haven't thought of.
One thing is certain – this will not be the first time wooden floors have been at the heart of a dispute in Company Title apartments.
