Sinnett v The Owners Strata Plan No. 92002

The case of Sinnett v The Owners Strata Plan No. 92002 involved a dispute over the allocation of unit entitlements in a strata scheme. The matter was heard by the Tribunal, which was tasked with reallocating the unit entitlements among the lots in accordance with a valuation report. The applicant, Sinnett, sought an order for the reallocation of unit entitlements, arguing that the initial allocation was unreasonable.

The legal issues that the Tribunal was required to decide included the matters to be taken into consideration when making a determination under the relevant section of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015. Specifically, the Tribunal had to consider the respective values of the lots and any other relevant matters. The Tribunal also had to determine whether the initial allocation of unit entitlements was unreasonable and, if so, what ancillary orders could be made.

The Tribunal found that the initial allocation of unit entitlements was unreasonable and made an order for the reallocation of unit entitlements in accordance with the valuation report. The Tribunal also ordered that the respondent take all necessary steps to lodge the orders with the Registrar-General of the Land and Property Management Authority and to inform each of the Lot Owners of the lodgement within the specified timeframe.

In summary, the Tribunal made an order for the reallocation of unit entitlements in accordance with a valuation report and ordered the respondent to lodge the orders with the Registrar-General and to inform the Lot Owners of the lodgement.
