Virpi Kristina Tuite v The Owners—Strata Plan No. 2217 [2018] NSWCATCD 57

The Tribunal found that the applicant did not establish that the procedures for passing and amending the relevant motion or conducting the auction were invalid, nor was the special by-law harsh, unconscionable, or oppressive. Even if procedural defects existed, no person was adversely affected to a relevant extent and compliance would not have altered the outcome. The Tribunal exercised its discretion to dismiss the application.
