In my experience, matters aren't generally likely to settle unless both parties are properly advised.
I hope you mean Property Manager and not Prime Minister. Otherwise this could be a veeeery long thread.The only time I have been to the CTTT is over a rental bond matter and ignorance of basic legislation by the PM.
I'd suggest that a stronger word than dopey was used. But then we can't use those words in here.It would have been good if instead of going through the full on CTTT, they could have just been told "read the Act, dopey".
If you care to read the details on the Dept fair Trading website then you wouldnt have said this.
The basis of this service is to provide advice only to BOTH parties to help them come to terms with their problem and resolve it. I would have thought receiving advice from the ruling body would amount to being "properly advised".
Would you trust advice from a body that was also giving advice to the other side at the same time? Especially if their advice was that they disagreed with your position?
There's a reason lawyers aren't allowed to do that.
From past experience at the CTTT, if both parties are present, the member will require the parties to go into a room with a mediator to resolve the matter before hearing anything.
After 20 minutes or so, they come back with a binding agreement.
Once again, you need to read what they are offering and get your head out of the sand.
There is no matter of trust required or agreeing/disagreeing with anyone's position. It's all about bringing together both parties, advising the rules as they are written and attempting to bring a mediated outcome. If that fails then it's off to the CTTT.

...are you serious? I resolve tenancy disputes for a living and on a daily basis.
If a simpler, quicker process with less red tape is there, then I'm all for it.
