NSW Civil Tribunal Rendered Strata Laws Void and Useless
Audience is anyone who might be interested in problems with strata schemes in NSW...
This website does not have any desire or intent to add own comments and therefore it is up to anybody to make up their own conclusions based on evidence and statements by others who did it in public forums, in courts, or elsewhere.
Public is voicing strong concerns about problems with Tribunals. Issues with strata complexes and dubious quality of services provided by those who should enforce laws are common and frequent - examples:
-
Solicitor Adrian Mueller created dangerous precedence in two CTTT/NCAT cases (SCS 12/32675 and SC 20/33352) which, based on Australian legal system, allow other parties to use as valid defence (legal precedents). CTTT/NCAT fully co-operated with the Solicitor and effectively rendered NSW strata laws useless.
CTTT/NCAT actively supported Solicitor Adrian Mueller’s predictive behaviour, contempt of court, falsified documents, and insurance claims in two CTTT/NCAT cases in 2012/2013 (SCS 12/32675 and SCS 12/50460, conducted by Tribunal member M. Harrowell) and 2020/2021 (SC 20/33352, conducted by Tribunal member G.J. Sarginson). The precedence means that all evidence of the Applicant can be ignored if the Respondent fails to attend Hearings:
- Waratah Strata Management undisclosed plan to Supreme Court for premeditated legal costs claims for Solicitor Adrian Mueller confirming that Lot 158 requests were completely ignored on 16 October 2020:
- Solicitor Adrian Mueller lied to NCAT in his only three-page submission on 18 January 2021 which was prepared a month earlier on 14 December 2020 (he was well informed that access to all evidence was provided to committee members and strata manager, but they chose to ignore it since 25 September 2020):
He failed to disclose that Waratah Strata Management gave the Solicitor instructions to review all Lot 158 files (including website) on 23 October 2020, which Solicitor Adrian Mueller ignored:
Solicitor Adrian Mueller failed to disclose that Waratah Strata Management ignored Lot 158 request to allow all owners to access evidence in NCAT case SC 20/33352, SCS 12/32675, and SCS 12/560460 since 25 September 2020 (this was presumably Mr. Robert Crosbie's approach to "democracy"):

Management stayed silent and did not offer any assistance to NCAT

laws.

The above decision directly contradicts his own errors of law in NCAT case SC 20/33352 he conducted where he ignored evidence because the Respondent failed to show up at the Hearing in spite of four-month advance notice:

- Had full knowledge of non-compliant general and ordinary meetings of SP52948,
- Coerced Tribunal to enforce costs recovery from Applicant without approval of SP52948 at any legally-convened meeting, whilst being accessory to insurance claims as back-up option for his legal costs,

- Prevented Police, CTTT/NCAT, Fair Trading NSW, Office of Legal Services Commissioner, District Court, and Supreme Court from access to Respondent’s files and his alleged correspondence with Respondent.
