The owners corporation brought proceedings seeking declaratory relief which was dismissed by the tribunal. The tribunal decided that the owners corporation should pay the developer's costs because the proceedings were unnecessary and the issues could be addressed in existing proceedings. The tribunal found that there was no good reason to depart from the usual costs order.
