c) If there is any problem with the above statements, please contact Office of Legal Services Commissioner in case CAS009763_1 and Police in Crime Stoppers Event 648467.

d) Insurance renewal for strata plan SP52948 was due on 21 September 2022. As of 27 September 2022, details of the insurance renewal were not published for any owner and costs not published in Admin Fund. Attachment "SP52948-Insurance-as-at-27Sep2022.pdf".

It would be a criminal negligence if owners corporation did not renew insurance policy.

If the insurance was renewed, then it is of high interest to let all owners know the size of negative balance in Admin Fund and the amount of commissions paid to Waratah Strata Management (attachments "SP52948-Admin-Fund-status-from-31Jan2017-to-31Jul2022.webp" and "SP52948-insurance-premiums-1997-to-2022.webp").

e) As of 27 September 2022, reimbursements to insurance company for alleged legal costs ($19,758.14, Insurance Policy QUSS042715 - BCB Ref 94537) appear not to be listed in any accounting files.

Waratah Strata Management still refuses to inform owners about insurance claims and work by Solicitor Adrian Mueller. In addition, they refuse to provide access to strata files.

f) As of 27 September 2022, our payments for CA 2022/70683 appear not to be listed in accounting files.
