Pulling tribunal records

Reasons

Counsel, Mark Donovan, barrister, attended the hearing for the body corporate.

The unit owner did not attend. The Tribunal’s file indicates that the unit owner was sent the notice of hearing and reminders. The unit owner has not communicated with the Tribunal about the hearing date. The hearing proceeded in the unit owner’s absence.

The body corporate applies for an order for unpaid levies, interest, costs, and the filing fee from the unit owner.

Does the unit owner owe the levies claimed?

Unit owners must pay all body corporate levies and outgoings payable for the unit. 1

The body corporate has determined the levies payable and unit owner's share has been calculated according to their utility interest. 2 The body corporate has fixed the due date for the levies to be paid, and the unit owner has not paid the levies by that date. 3

The body corporate has provided records which prove the amount claimed.

Is the unit owner liable for interest?

If a unit owner fails to pay levies by the due date, interest accrues on the unpaid balance. A body corporate may charge interest up to 10 percent per annum. 4

The body corporate has resolved to charge interest at 10 percent per annum on unpaid levies.

The body corporate has proved the amount of interest owing to yesterday’s date.

Is the unit owner liable for costs?

The body corporate is entitled to recover any reasonable costs it incurs in collecting unpaid levies as a debt due under s 124 of the Unit Titles Act 2010, and as resolved at body corporate meetings. 1 See ss 80(1)(f) and 121(1) Unit Titles Act 2010. 2 The unit owner paid $3,409.00 on 20 July 2023. $3,259.20 of that is applied to the overdue levies; $149.80 is applied to the body corporate manager’s costs. That being done, the interest due is reduced by $35.71 to $125.15. 3 See s 124(1) Unit Titles Act 2010. 4 See s 128 Unit Titles Act 2010.
