Disputes in a layered scheme

Disputes within layered schemes may seem more complex than those in standard schemes, but the process is similar.

After attempting to resolve the issue yourself, a dispute can be resolved through conciliation or adjudication through our office.

Disputes in a layered arrangement could be between:

  • a subsidiary body corporate and the principal body corporate
  • a committee member of the principal body corporate and the committee of the principal body corporate
  • a committee member of the principal body corporate and the principal body corporate
  • different subsidiary bodies corporate within the principal scheme
  • a subsidiary body corporate and the owner or occupier of a lot within the principal scheme that is not a subsidiary body corporate
  • a principal body corporate and the owner or occupier of a lot within the principal scheme that is not a subsidiary body corporate.

An owner, occupier or committee member within a subsidiary scheme cannot lodge a dispute against a principal body corporate or another subsidiary body corporate, or the owner or occupier of a lot in the principal scheme or another subsidiary scheme.
