Sahade v Owners Corporation SP 62022 [2015] NSWCATAP 146

Sahade v Owners Corporation SP 62022 [2015] NSWCATAP 146

The Appeal Panel held that the Tribunal properly exercised its discretion under s183 of the Strata Schemes Management Act, 1996 by considering relevant factors including control and voting deadlock. The Tribunal's decision not to reallocate unit entitlements, despite the initial allocation being found unreasonable, did not involve error of law or act upon irrelevant considerations and so no appealable error was established.
