NCAT Dismissed Low [2025] NSWCATAP 253 2025-10-14
A lot owner appealed a previous tribunal decision regarding water damage and building maintenance in her apartment. The Appeal Panel declined to grant leave to appeal, as they were not convinced that a substantial injustice had occurred. Consequently, the initial decision was upheld, and the owners corporation's application for costs was rejected.
