The Supreme Court refused leave to appeal from two SAT decisions, holding that none of the appellant's ten grounds raised a question of law with reasonable prospects of success under s 105 of the SAT Act. The Court confirmed that alleged breaches of the Strata Titles Act 2005 (WA) by a strata manager do not automatically terminate a strata management contract; termination requires compliance with the sequential procedural requirements in s 151 (show cause notice followed by termination notice). The Court also confirmed that challenges to the exercise of the SAT's costs discretion under s 87(3) do not raise questions of law, and that reliance on repealed provisions (ss 39A and 103E of the former ST Act) was misplaced.
