The court had to determine whether the plaintiff's claims were substantiated by the evidence, and whether any relief should be granted.

The legal issues that the court had to decide included whether the plaintiff had established a breach of the Strata Titles Act 1988 by the Strata Corporation, or prejudice caused by wrongful acts or defaults of the Strata Corporation or other unit holders. The court also had to determine whether the plaintiff had demonstrated that the Strata Corporation had made unreasonable, oppressive or unjust decisions, and whether there was a dispute between the parties concerning the occupation or use of a strata unit.
