Hello,

For the record on strata files.

Owners are not told much about what is currently happening, which is in non-compliance with the SSMA 1996 (lack of detailed agenda for meetings and not serving District Court and CTTT applications and notices on each owner immediately):

a) District Court in file 13/360456 hearing is scheduled for 6 February 2013;

b) CTTT Hearing in file SCS 13/50737 is scheduled for 26 February 2013.

Three major actions on my side, apart from submission of evidence in both cases (that shows, among the other things, that last three general meetings are void and invalid):

a) I found definite evidence that Strata Manager Mr. Peter Bone provided false statements in his sworn Statutory Declaration in April 2013. I do not need to emphasize the importance of it.

I will seek any owner or member of the EC who wants to take stand and defend Strata Manager's actions.

b) Request to dismiss engagement of Solicitor Mr. Adrian Mueller due to reasonable apprehension of bias and constructive contempt of court (failed to follow Tribunal orders and directions four times just in file SCS 12/32675), and other actions.

c) The second EGM scheduled for 20 December 2013 asks to approve Strata Manager's decision to engage Solicitor Mr. Adrian Mueller in additional amount of $16.500.00 (last two general meetings now seemingly approved legal expenses in amount above $31,000.00) without any consultation of the EC or owners corporation. Strata Manager acted alone and now seeks retrospective "ratification". To make ratification valid, detailed agenda is required to satisfy "test of reasonable".

I attempted to mediate too many times. That was declined but it does not mean the problems should be ignored and past actions forgotten. They came at too high losses to owners corporation.

As always, I am open to fair discussions and suggestions.
