Can the owners corporation sue the strata manager for breach of contract?
Yes. If the manager has materially breached the agency agreement and caused loss — failure to insure, lost insurance claim, missed compliance deadline, lost records — the owners corporation can claim damages. Most matters are heard in the state tribunal first.
Get a written assessment from a strata lawyer or another agency before suing. Many disputes can be resolved through the manager's professional indemnity insurance once formal notice of claim is given. Litigation is a last resort — replacing the manager and recovering past losses through the tribunal is usually faster.
