A High court finding on QLD by-law dispute says it’s okay to be selfish when it comes to common property rights

A finding by the High Court of Australia regarding a Noosa body corporate’s by-law dispute has refuted a common misconception about strata; it can be reasonable to refuse a common property rights by-law when there’s nothing in it for you.

Nothing in the BCCM Act suggests that an opponent to a proposal acts unreasonably in failing to act sympathetically or altruistically towards a proponent who seeks to diminish the property rights of the opponent.
