Body Corporate and Strata

---

APIX Law Group provides strategic legal advice and representation in body corporate and community titles disputes under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (Qld) (BCCM Act).

We regularly act for lot owners, committees, caretakers, developers and corporate entities in matters involving by-law enforcement, decision-making powers, maintenance obligations and financial disputes.

Body corporate disputes are frequently emotive, legally technical and procedurally complex. Our role is to cut through that complexity by providing decisive representation and advising on:

• Interpretation and application of by-laws;
• Validity of committee and general meeting decisions;
• Statutory duties of the body corporate and committee members;
• Maintenance and repair obligations under the BCCM Act; and
• Allocation and recovery of body corporate expenses.

Our approach is to position matters strategically from the outset, with litigation and enforcement outcomes clearly in view. We have particular experience in:

• By-law enforcement proceedings;
• Maintenance and defect disputes;
• Exclusive use and common property disputes;
• Levy recovery and contribution disputes;
• Records access and transparency disputes; and
• Caretaker and letting agent disputes.

Where disputes cannot be resolved internally, representation is provided throughout all statutory and judicial forums, including:

• Conciliation and adjudication applications through the Office of the Commissioner for Body Corporate and Community Management;
• Proceedings before the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT);
• Appeals and enforcement proceedings; and
• Supreme Court proceedings involving declaratory relief, injunctions and statutory interpretation issues.
