QLD: Body Corporate By-laws - Where, what and why | LookUpStrata

Описание: In this webinar, Todd Garsden from Mahoneys joins Nikki Jovicic from LookUpStrata to discuss your body corporate by-laws and the by-law enforcement process.

Every scheme has by-laws, but not all by-laws are created equally. Some schemes' by-laws are short, others are long, some are valid, and others are invalid.

Although bodies corporate have the option to adopt the standard and default by-laws in the legislation, many don't, opting for their own "bespoke" set. There is a broad array of how a scheme's by-laws come into existence - whether that be a developer's precedent, a considered review of the scheme's requirements or an overly prescriptive collation of every possible by-law that has ever been prepared.

Getting the balance right is crucial, particularly in light of the BCCMA's requirements of what by-laws can and can't provide.

In this webinar, we discuss all things by-laws, including:
1. What are by-laws, and where can you find them?
2. What is the difference between by-laws and house rules?
3. Why are there so many variances between different by-laws for similar schemes?
4. How can you identify invalid by-laws?
5. What is the best way to prepare and draft by-laws?
6. How are by-laws enforced? Todd will step us through the by-law enforcement process.

The session also concluded with a Q&A segment.
