On the court record
A strata management corporation litigating the legality of an unlicensed water-supply contract under section 66 of the Contracts Act 1950 and the scope of its charging powers under the Strata Management Act 2013.
Amber Court Management Corporation is the management corporation of a strata development, and it appears in the corpus in litigation over the charges it may levy on parcel owners and the contracts it enters to run the development. It appears as appellant, respondent and defendant across the High Court and Court of Appeal.
One strand concerns a contract for the supply of treated water. At the Court of Appeal the questions were whether the Water Services Industry Act 2006 governed the water-supply agreement, whether the absence of a licence rendered the agreement illegal, and whether the corporation remained liable to pay for the water it had consumed notwithstanding any illegality, engaging section 66 of the Contracts Act 1950 — the provision under which a person who has received a benefit under a void agreement must restore it or make compensation. This is the recurring tension between the illegality of an unlicensed arrangement and the reality that a benefit has been received and consumed.
The other strands concern the corporation's charging powers. In a challenge to a decision of the Strata Management Tribunal, the question was whether the Tribunal's award allowing a management committee's claim for miscellaneous charges — insurance premium, sanitary charges and quit rent — was ultra vires the Strata Management Act 2013, and whether the charges the Act envisages extend to such items. In a further matter over default in the payment of maintenance charges, the court addressed the definition of "defaulter" in paragraph 6(1)(a) of the Third Schedule to the Strata Management (Maintenance and Management) Regulations, holding that a proprietor who has made only partial payments remains a defaulter, and the formula for computing maintenance charges based on the share units of parcels. The corporation's footprint is a compact study in the statutory framework governing what a strata body may charge and collect, and how it recovers from owners in arrears.
