Welcome to our latest newsletter full of strata title information from around Australia.
Please welcome Pierrette Khoury, from TURNBULL BOWLES LAWYERS as our new blog author featured in this months newsletter. Pierrette has written an important article - Introducing New Defects into an Existing Building Defects Claim - which raises the question of when additional defects could be introduced into an existing defect claim.
And this edition of the newsletter contains plenty more also, including a breakdown of how by-laws are created, a case study showing the importance of having a strata manager and the latest asbestos ruling - plus much, much more!
Apologies to anyone trying to get in contact with me this week. I have been away on business since last Thursday and will be returning to the office tomorrow. Thank you for your patience & I will be catching up with emails over the coming week.
Enjoy the read!
Thanks
Nikki
