NCAT application – must owners be informed?

Good day one ‘n all,

I recently applied to NCAT for a short menu of orders. After looking into the substance of the claims, NCAT gave me a hearing date. Note in the past a hearing date was offered swiftly after lodging a claim. Now it seems NCAT wants to satisfy itself that the claim has legs. A good thing too!

My queries are as follows:

(1) Must a strata mgr or committee inform ALL owners of a NCAT dispute for which a hearing date has been set? I ask because in one strata I deal with, the agent has not included my application on his portal or the letter from NCAT inviting the OC to attend in January.  The agent has not mentioned the matter in any email circulars. This means all those other than the mgr, the SC members and me have no idea what’s going on (but all will be impacted); and

(2) Must a strata mgr or committee mention in any submission to the STRATA HUB  my NCAT application against  the OC? Must the STRATA HUB be informed about an owner’s  complaint to NSW Fair Trading against the strata mgr? Or can these matters be concealed from the STRATA HUB? I ask because in my case, I complained to NSW FT about the agent’s conduct; NSW FT replied that my claim has legs and will follow up with the strata mgr (but not tell me of the outcome of their actions, if any, against the strata mgr) and a few weeks after my application to NSW FT, out of the blue the strata mgr resigned as mgr of our scheme. Surely other stratas should be informed of what if anything NSW FT found and did regarding my claim. Or are other strata schemes to be left in the dark?
