In Australia this is true -under reporting / testing for #combustible #cladding is remains rife. Builders not being held accountable for repairs. #Strata owners ignoring occupiers liability risk. Regulators under resourced to enforce compliance.

A reminder of a report I did in June: there are millions and millions of square metres of the ACM used on Grenfell on buildings globally - much of it in jurisdictions which have done nothing to look for it post-fire

Feeling sorry for staff @NAB Double Bay. Chronically understaffed in the branch. Where’s the duty of care to your employees BigBank ?

@MelbConstrucLaw Here’s hoping that we get some national application of the many valuable lessons learnt during his time

[Michael Teys @MichaelTeys]

@evanmck Go Kamala ! So good to see there is at least a race now

[Michael Teys @MichaelTeys]

Prof Cathy Sherry speaking arguing #strata management needs to return to transparent fee for service also against and long term developer contracts - management rights in Qld is ‘weird’ and embedded networks means owners are paying twice for infrastructure

[Michael Teys @MichaelTeys]

@suejbright Yes thanks @suejbright trying to get court papers to see relevance for AU

10-year ban for strata manager for statutory breaches | Michael Teys https://t.co/4PhFiODgqB

[Michael Teys @MichaelTeys]

In a first of its kind decision a #strata manager has had his license taken away for 10 years. This comes as strata management practices in Au comes under scrutiny for charging practices (although this case seems based on other issues). More to come.

I’ve never claimed strata is utopia but it has a lot to offer owners , managers and developers and works pretty well worldwide

[Landmark Investments @LandmarkInvsGrp]

@MichaelTeys @katesineed @LKPleasehold @MikeAmesburyMP @BarryGardiner @moving_charlie @mtpennycook You mean strata isn’t the utopia it’s made out to be? Next you will be telling us that all the residents can’t live in perfect harmony

[Michael Teys @MichaelTeys]

@katesineed @LandmarkInvsGrp @LKPleasehold @MikeAmesburyMP @BarryGardiner @moving_charlie @mtpennycook The first issue is about managers putting up their fees which might sound strange to UK readers but it’s in place of commissions and kickbacks which are a problem here

[Michael Teys @MichaelTeys]

@LKPleasehold Thanks @l

[Michael Teys @MichaelTeys]

Long settled law in NSW that the statutory duty of the strata to repair and maintain includes fixing builder developer defects made before the strata was created - Sewias case

[martinboyd @martinboydlkp]

@suejbright I suspect @MelbConstrucLaw could tell us that sounds similar to the position they gov got to over there -or at least it sounded that way when I went to a meeting of strata sites recently

[Michael Teys @MichaelTeys]

Here’s hoping

[Harry Scoffin @HarryScoffin]

⚠️NO MORE LEASEHOLD DEBT TRAPS⚠️

1.5 million new homes promised.

@UKLabour must bring forward a Commonhold Bill in the King’s Speech on July 17th to ban new leasehold flats to protect future homebuyers.

Making commonhold common is pro-growth!
