Order

Spring Street Developments Limited must pay Body Corporate 361242 $97,788.73 immediately, calculated as follows: DescriptionsApplicantRespondent Levies $80,974.00 Interest $11,204.73 Costs $5,110.00 Filing Fee $500.00 Total award $97,788.73 Total payable by respondent to applicant $97,788.73

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The body corporate has applied for recovery of unpaid levies, interest, costs and the filing fee from the unit owner, Spring Street Developments Limited. The outstanding levies comprise operational levies of $25,694.70 and remedial levies of $55,280.00, totalling $80,974.70.

Does the Unit Owner owe the levies claimed?

A unit owner must pay all body corporate levies and outgoings payable for the unit. See sections 80(1)(f) and 121(1) Unit Titles Act 2010.
The body corporate has determined the levies payable and the unit owner's share has been calculated according to their utility interest.
The body corporate has fixed the due dates for the levies to be paid, and the unit owner has not paid the levies by those dates. See section 124(1) Unit Titles Act 2010. The body corporate has provided records to prove the amount claimed.

Is the Unit Owner liable for interest?

If a unit owner fails to pay levies by the due date, interest accrues on the unpaid balance. A body corporate may charge interest up to 10% per annum. See section 128 Unit Titles Act 2010.
The body corporate has resolved to charge interest at 10% per annum on unpaid levies. The Body Corporate has proved the amount of interest owing from the due date to the hearing date. Interest calculated to 25 August 2026 is $11,204.73.

Is the Unit Owner liable for costs?

Pursuant to section 124 UTA, and as resolved at meetings of the Body Corporate, the Body Corporate is entitled to recover any reasonable costs incurred by it in collecting unpaid levies as a debt due by the owner to the Body Corporate. In accordance with the judgments (of the District Court and Court of Appeal respectively) in Body Corporate 162791 v Cheah DC Auckland, CIV2014-004- 0120, 24 June 2014 and Body Corporate 162791 v Gilbert[2015] NZCA 185, the Tribunal must order that the reasonable costs incurred by the Body Corporate in recovering the levies, objectively assessed, be paid by a defaulting unit owner.
The Body Corporate claimed $4,943.25 for section 124 costs including GST and disbursements as well as $667.00 for hearing attendance. The cost award has been adjusted to reflect the actual hearing time, with $166.75 added for 30 minutes' hearing time ($145 plus GST). The total costs awarded are $5,110.00. I am satisfied that the costs ordered above are reasonable.
Because the body corporate has succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the $500.00 filing fee. Section 176(1) Unit Titles Act 2010 and section 102(4) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
