Executive Committee acting illegally

  I complained about the activities(noise, parking, bins etc) of a neighbour who happened to be an executive Committee member.  The response of the Executive Committee was to condone their friends actions.  After contacting the Dept of Fair Trading, we sent another letter 'breach of section 177, to be dealt under section 45 etc…' We also indicated our intention to take them to mediation.  The Executive Committee's response was to make US respondents to their mediation attempt.  

  At mediation we found out our troublesome neighbours had quite a history, and had been the subject of Court Orders before.  We also know that the Strata Manager and at least some of the Executive Committee members were aware of this (recent) history.  Vilification was evident with many stories spread about me.  

  The Mediator hinted to some sort of legal action I could take at the time.  What would that action have been?

 Since then things have scarcely improved.  The Laws are generally ignored to the benefit of some, detriment of others, and general apathy of the rest.

  I was disappointed to read in SMH that Owners' Corporation are not responsible for the policing of the Laws/Bylaws.  I would have thought that a legally binding relationship between each owners and the Owners' Corporation existed.  Could someone clarify the legal relationship between owners and the Owners' Corporation?  What purpose is served by unexecutable laws?

Any info much appreciated,
