Bugden Allen acted for an insured lot owner in Tribunal proceedings concerning ongoing water ingress, where it was unclear whether the source originated from common property or within the lot.
We analysed strata plans and building documentation, coordinated expert evidence, and advised on the statutory framework governing maintenance and repair obligations. We also considered the operation of the insurance policy depending on the source and cause of the ingress.
Through detailed factual and expert analysis, the source of the issue was clarified, enabling the Tribunal to determine responsibility and bringing certainty to the parties involved.
