According to the 2020 Australasian Strata Insights Report 2020, there were over 1.2 million people living in more than 325,000 strata lots across 83,000 strata schemes in New South Wales and that number is expected to grow dramatically in the next few years. In this context, it is completely understandable that lot owners frequently are wanting to do things to their property or common areas that require approval by the owners corporation. 

Crucial to this is of course is conveying what you want in the form of a motion for consideration by the owners corporation and it's not exactly a walk in the park. In this podcast, David Sachs of Sachs Gerace Lawyers discusses what you need to know about drafting a motion.

In the context of strata, It goes without saying that a dispute regarding building defects can have major ramifications on all involved, hence the necessity to resolve matters promptly before they get out of control. Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR as it is commonly referred to, is a growing means of resolving disputes. In this podcast, Sachs Gerace Partner, Anne Fernando discusses how ADR can assist Owners Corporations in such dispute matters.

When it comes to the resolution of disputes in strata, it doesn't necessarily mean that the only way to resolve the matter is through litigation. In fact, for many jurisdictions, litigation is the last resort, after parties have tried to resolve through mediation. In this context, in this edition of the Strata Law Podcast, Theresa Khoury of Sachs Gerace Lawyers discusses mediation and strata.

Some of these changes will have a significant impact on strata schemes throughout New South Wales. In this edition of the podcast, Clement Lo, of Sachs Gerace Lawyers discusses these key changes.

It's likely you may have heard the term NCAT, which is an abbreviation for the NSW Civil and Administration Tribiunal. Now not only does that tribunal hear a wide range of matters every day, but often the people before the tribunal are representing themselves. It goes without saying that that can prove to be a tumolutous event. In this podcast, David Sachs of Sachs Gerace Lawyers gives an overview of NCAT and how to be best prepared.
