Would like to know if someone could give me the definition of “stratum”? Have googled but many answers, all different.
On the plans for the registration of this complex of townhouses, it states that “The stratum of the courtyard areas extend from 1 metre below to 3 metres above the upper surface of their respective lots except where covered or concrete paved.”
What exactly does stratum mean in this context?

Hi Struggler,
All this means is that the owners of the lot own the courtyard also, but the airspace of the courtyard only extends to 1 meter below the surface (you own up to 1 meter below the ground and anything in it) and 3 meters above, except where covered.
So if there is a tree in your courtyard, you one the bit that extends down 1 meter into the ground, and then the bit that is 3 meters high, anything above this is the OC’s responsibility.
This is all in simple terms, hope this helps.
