About this talk

These disputes may involve developers, parcel owners, and management bodies, typically concerning valuable spaces like car parks, rooftops, building facades and recreational facilities.

Our speakers will also explore recent court decisions addressing disputes over common property, the legal principles emerging from these decisions and their practical implications for stakeholders in strata developments.
