AS the owner of a parcel in a mixed development, I salute the courageous parcel owner of Rajawali Development who took a joint management body and relevant parties to task and won the Court of Appeal case for proper enforcement of the equitable basis of share unit allocation to set a single charge as entrenched in the Strata Management Act 2013, ACT 757.
Contrary to the position presented in the article “Owners of high-rise mixed-use property likely to pay higher maintenance fees” (The Star, Oct 16; online at bit.ly/star_strata), it needs to be pointed out that this Court of Appeal ruling will result in a fairer distribution of maintenance fees and the majority of individual residential and SoHo (small office/home office) owners will benefit from lower maintenance costs in a mixed development property.
