Last Friday I interviewed Jo Cooper and her lawyer, Sharon Levy, over on our Facebook page. Jo is the lot owner who recently convinced the NSW Court of Appeal that the by-law banning pets at her building is invalid. This episode is an edited version of that chat, taking your behind the scenes of this landmark case and confirming the important legal principles it establishes for all strata communities.

Thanks Amanda
I believe bylaws should be ban and the strata law should be the same for every building. If people do not use the place as a hotel/motel without following the regulation that business have to obey why are they telling us that one bylaw is the same as others?
We were living in a better place in the past because the buildings were not so crowded, now is more like dog eats dog.
Good luck Jo!
