Fees for search of adjudicators’ orders

A body corporate dispute may go to adjudication if it cannot be resolved by conciliation or self-resolution. To resolve a dispute, an adjudicator makes an order.

You can apply to see if any orders (or current adjudication applications) have been made for a particular community titles scheme. This is often done when people are thinking about buying a body corporate property.

There is a fee for a search of orders.

Conciliation applications are not recorded as part of a search for adjudicator’s orders and cannot be searched separately.
