SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY OF ARREAR LEVIES VIA THE CSOS
After years of discussing the topic in theory, this month we finally received our first CSOS Adjudication Order granting our client, a local body corporate, relief sought in recovering arrear levies from a defaulting owner. Now having walked the walk, we are happy to report that the process proved as efficient as we had hoped. From the first consultation held with our client to the issuing of the order in our client’s favour, the process took approximately 4 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is on par with the current timeline of having such matters dealt with by the courts, but with the great benefit of incurring far fewer legal costs.
The Adjudication Order confirmed that the owner is indebted to the body corporate and ordered them to pay the outstanding levies in four equal monthly instalments. Should they fail to do so, the Adjudication Order simply needs to be made an Order of Court (a quick and easy clerical process) and the Sheriff will take care of the rest.
Delighted by this outcome, we look forward to assisting many more clients in obtaining such orders from the CSOS in a cost effective and time savvy manner.

This month’s question is, "My geyser burst and the body corporate advised that I am responsible for the replacement costs. How can this be the case if my geyser is situated on the common property?"
