- Court
- Lands Tribunal
- Case number
- LDBM20/2002
The Court held that a management committee is not a legal entity independent of the incorporated owners but functions as their agent; the earlier management committee (respondent in LDBM 20/2002) had ceased to hold office and therefore lacked capacity and authority to enforce the costs orders or pursue taxation; given the serious disputes about capacity and authority pending in other proceedings, the Master was correct to stay the taxation proceedings and the appeal is dismissed.
