Surprise, you responded! Must be a miracle.

BCS did not respond to requests for document viewing FOUR TIMES
during 2015. And lied to DFT about giving access to me last year.

Your previous years' forms contained address of DEFT for sending (see attachment).
The payment will end in SP52948  - that is what I put on money orders
on the back page, so the payments are correct.

Ref No 666666 ($31,00 for document inspection)
Ref No 666683 ($3.10 for GST)

Payee is clearly shown as SP52948 on the front page of the money orders..

Payment is not an issue. SP52948 will get that money through DEFT, as per
your standard advice in the past. It is your problem that you stayed silent until I forced
you to respond. You should have sent the invoice as asked in the past.

Your duty is to send the confirmation of the date for document viewing immediately.
Any problem, notify me.

PS. I was notified by DFT that you declined Mediation today, which I had predicted.
What you do not know is my next step, it is very different from what you might have
anticipated.

Subject: UPDATED OFFICIAL SUBMISSION PER SSMA 1996 Section 108 SP52948 Document Viewing Request on 21Nov2015

Hello,

During next week, BCS will receive a registered letter with my payment for document viewing as
per SSMA 1996 S108. Instead of waiting for your response, I am forcing it through advanced payment.
Legal advice, including case at District Court will be quoted when deemed necessary.

New DFT case SM15/1226RH was opened. Mediation is tentatively scheduled for 17 December 2015.
If you do not attend AND not provide access to strata documents as requested, very different
actions are prepared in anticipation of your actions.

As Treasurer, Secretary and Strata Manager of SP52948, this is an official submission in accordance with:

NSW Strata Schemes Management Act 1996
  QUOTE
  Division 4 - Inspection of records and issue of certificates
  108 Inspection of records of owners corporation
  (1) Who may inspect records? An owner, mortgagee or covenant chargee
  of a lot, or a person authorised by the owner, mortgagee or covenant
  chargee, may request the owners corporation to allow an inspection to
  be carried out under this section.

 (5) Time and place of inspection if agreement not reached
  If an applicant and the owners corporation fail to reach an
  agreement within 3 days after the owners corporation receives
  the application, the owners corporation must immediately send
  by post to the applicant a notice fixing a specified time
  (between 9 am and 8 pm) on a specified date (not later than
  10 days after the owners corporation receives the application).

I request access to inspect and copy the records as sent to you on three occasions
during 2015 and updated herewith.

Preferred dates for document inspections:

Friday, 28th of November 2015, from 09:30 hours onwards
 Tuesday, 1st of December 2015, from 09:30 hours onwards
Friday, 4th of December 2015, from 09:30 hours onwards

As you probably know by now, it was pointless to attend the meeting upon advice
because it was conducted illegally: Only 10 people attended in person anyway.
How dysfunctional our complex is shows the fact that Secretary and Treasurer
roles are now officially assigned to BCS.

 - My Motion was not included in the agenda

- DFT's Motion for forensic accountant to check financials was not included in the agenda

- Access to strata documents rejected five times

- My nomination for EC was not included in the agenda or at the meeting

That makes my job easier to pursue corruption and neglect of my (and other complexes).

Date:     Wed, 2 Sep 2015 21:17:51 +1000

Almost three weeks passed by without any action on your side.

This comes in addition to the fact that EC had not had official
meeting for five months now. Dysfunctional committee, failing duty of
care and transparency tests.

1. BCS failed to acknowledge my request in accordance with the Act.

2. BCS failed to issue the invoice in a timely manner.

3. BCS failed to reply with details which documents they were not
willing to provide and reasons why.

An updated request for additional documents is enclosed herewith.
At the end of the month, I will submit the Motions for AGM 2015.

Mismanagement of the complex continues. Poor, repetitive repairs
without warranties, lack of major works in timely manner, delayed
payments, wrong payments, duplicate payments. Again, as in 2011,
electricity supply contract was renewed without seemingly requesting
tenders (otherwise, all owners must see the full details of the tenders).

I expect an invoice for document viewing within five working days.

Hello,

As per SSMA 1996 Section 108, I submit the request for document viewing of SP52948.

Details are in enclosed document.

Act in accordance with law. BCS Branch Manager is fully supportive of
my actions as per his own email below. It is good that he feels confident of
proper actions by his company. Evidence tells the different story.

We have been made aware of the various allegations you have made
against our office in regards to the management of your scheme and
also the so called deal or corrupt conduct in regards to the tendering process
of the caretaking agreement and the strata management agreement.

BCS Epping have been working closely with the Executive Committee in
regards to the renewal of our agency agreement and we have also
offered to the owners corporation the service of our sister company,
Estate Managers in the tendering of the caretaking agreement of your
building. In the instance where BCS and Estate Managers had a vested
interest in the tender on the above services, it was essential that
this process was managed solely by the Executive Committee to avoid
any conflict of interest. The EC has assured that this process is carried
at arm length from the managing agent and its associate company.

If you intend to pursue those allegations, you are entitled to lodge
your complaints and submit concrete evidence to regulatory bodies
for further investigations. We recommend that you cease the above defamatory
remarks in public until all the facts have been tested and proven.

In regards to the various motions you have submitted, we have sought
legal advice on the validity of the so called motions and
explanatory notes which you submitted. Based on that advice, the agenda was
drafted to allow an orderly and productive meeting.

As the Licensee in Charge of our office, I will be in attendance at
your AGM to assist the Owners Corporation on any queries they may have.

Billy Cheung
Branch Manager
