Between May 2015 to February 2017, Matt acted in 78 matters. 85% of those matters settled or did not proceed. Below are some of the published cases and my commentary that proceeded:
Owners Corporation SP 80454 v Eddy Investments (NSW) Pty Ltd [2016] NSWCATCD
This matter involved a review of an adjudicator decision as to whether the strata management statement (SMS) could be amended in such a material way to effect the voting rights of the two members. It was found that the Tribunal did not have the power to amend the SMS in such a way.
Nayak v Rockwall Constructions Pty Ltd [2017] NSWCATAP 18
This matter involved an appeal on the damages calculations to variations and quantum meruit to the decision of the Tribunal on 23 March 2016. The Tribunal agreed that the proper approach to the assessment of a quantum meruit claim is to ascertain the fair and reasonable value fo the work: [80] and see Sopov v Kane Constructions Pty Ltd (No 2) [2009] VSCA; (2009) 24 VR 510, [25].
In the matter of FAL Healthy Beverages Pty Ltd and FAL Retail Pty Ltd [2017] NSWSC 476
