Recently a few owners in our strata applied to CTTT for an order to appoint a strata manager. It was rejected based on a biased decision. An appeal is being lodged.
Our secretary has in a notice to owners stated “the OC will incur legal costs defending the appeal…The legislation provides that our strata scheme can pay $9000 in legal costs without the need for general meeting approval. If the costs exceed that amount, there will be a motion passed at the AGM to approve the payment. If the appeal is unsuccessful the OC will be asking the Tribunal to order the appellants to pay the OC's costs.”
S80 of the SSMA states that there has to be a resolution passed at a general meeting to obtain legal advice.I am a confused. Is the secretary's statement correct? As you can see he has already decided that a motion will be passed.
The CTTT states that it is an affordable dispute resolution process………..I think not!
