Building Defects

When it comes to building defects, it’s essential to know who should be held accountable. A body corporate attorney can assist with holding the right party liable and obtaining compensation.

Your By-Laws

A body corporate will have lots of by-laws that are specific to your area and your housing complex. Are body corporate by-laws enforceable? Yes, they are! Knowing how to draft new by-laws and comply with your area’s default laws is substantially easier with a team of body corporate attorneys at your disposal.

Disputes and Litigation

All disputes related to your body corporate can be handled legally by body corporate lawyers. Your lawyers will draft notifications, emails, and legal documentation to resolve disputes immediately before they go too far.

Litigation is always something you’ll want to avoid within a body corporate. However, when disputes do need to go to court, our litigation lawyers can help the process go more smoothly.

Levy Recovery

If residents are behind in their body corporate fees, body corporate legal advice can help you retrieve those funds using legal means.

Procedural Disputes

When it comes to holding homeowners’ meetings, it’s important to do things in a structured and ordered way. If disputes arise during these meetings or regarding how these meetings are conducted, general governance regulations can be implemented.

Management Statements for Buildings

Common property can often be assigned to some residents for exclusive use. This may include parking spaces, visitor areas, or swimming pool areas.

Subdivision of Lots and Schemes

Understanding the borders or divided strata complexes is useful when disputes arise among residents and tenants. A body corporate lawyer will explain the intricacies of these laws.

Management of Rights and Assignments

When a unit goes up for sale, a body corporate attorney can help you understand the legal processes involved. This includes the management rights of each unit while ownership is being transferred.

Defamation Cases

If claims of defamation are made within a body corporate, these can be handled in a comprehensive, legal way by Macmillan Lawyers and Advisors.
