Quest Rose Hill Pty Limited v The Owners Corporation of Strata Plan 64025

The case before the court involved Quest Rose Hill Pty Limited and the Owners Corporation of Strata Plan 64025. The dispute centred on a claim for damages in relation to alleged defective work carried out by Quest Rose Hill Pty Limited, a contractor, during the renovation of a unit within the strata scheme. The Owners Corporation sought to recover costs associated with the rectification of the defective work. The case was heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the Owners Corporation was entitled to the costs incurred in rectifying the defective work, and if so, the amount of those costs. A further issue was the interpretation and clarification of the costs orders made by the court in its previous decision. The court needed to determine if the costs orders were clear and enforceable as they stood, or if they required further clarification to ensure they could be implemented effectively.

In addressing these issues, the court reviewed the previous judgment and orders, noting that while the Owners Corporation was entitled to recover the costs of rectifying the defective work, the original costs orders were not entirely clear. The court clarified that the Owners Corporation was entitled to recover the costs from Quest Rose Hill Pty Limited, with specific amounts for different categories of costs. The court provided detailed calculations and explanations to ensure the costs orders were clear and enforceable.

The court ordered that the Owners Corporation was to recover specific amounts from Quest Rose Hill Pty Limited for the costs of rectifying the defective work. The court clarified the costs orders to ensure they were enforceable and provided detailed calculations and explanations to support its decision.
