Conrad v The Owners of Strata Plan No.2795

Conrad brought an application against the Owners of Strata Plan No.2795 in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The dispute revolved around a bankruptcy notice issued to Conrad by the Owners of the strata plan. The Owners alleged that Conrad owed strata fees, and the notice was a means to compel payment. Conrad contested the validity of the notice and sought to have it set aside.

The legal issues before the court were whether the bankruptcy notice was properly issued and whether the Owners had the right to issue such a notice under the applicable legislation. Conrad argued that the notice was invalid because it did not comply with the statutory requirements for issuing a bankruptcy notice. The Owners, on the other hand, contended that they had followed the correct procedures and were entitled to issue the notice.

The court examined the statutory provisions governing the issuance of bankruptcy notices and found that the Owners had not complied with all the necessary requirements. The court held that the notice was invalid because it did not include a statement of the amount of the debt and the consequences of not paying it within the specified period. As a result, the application to set aside the bankruptcy notice was successful, and the notice was deemed invalid. The court dismissed Conrad's application to set aside the notice, finding that it was not properly issued.
