Paddocks Press - February 2024

In this digital age, when so much has changed, just how much can we do on our devices when it comes to legalities? Can Sectional Title Trustees take resolutions via WhatsApp? Jennifer Paddock guides us through that very relevant question, and you may be surprised at the answer.

Graham Paddock gives an insightful overview of potential claims for relief under Section 39 of the CSOS Act, shedding light on financial, physical and administrative issues that emerge.

We are also excited to let you know that our next round of courses are underway! The Advanced Sectional Title Financial Management Masterclass started earlier this week (but you can still join till Friday 24th at 5pm), and we have three other presentations starting in July. Find out more at our links below.

And last, but certainly not least, a reminder that you do not have to face CSOS issues alone. Paddocks has CSOS Casebooks (in eBook format) that will equip you for any dealings and CSOS-related issues.

Let us know if you have any queries, and have a look around on our site for resources and opportunities to grow in all areas of community scheme management.
