In Couran Cove Resort Community Body Corporate v The Proprietors – Couran Cove Resort – Eco Lodges Group Plan No 106783 [2024] QSC 172, the Supreme Court of Queensland delivered a ruling on 9 August 2024 concerning multiple applications made by the plaintiff body corporate against various subsidiary body corporates for unpaid levies related to judgment debts owed to utility suppliers. The court dismissed the defendants' application for a stay of proceedings and granted summary judgment in favour of the plaintiff for claims related to the levies issued on 26 February 2024. The case highlighted procedural complexities surrounding the levying of fees to cover outstanding debts owed by the community body corporate and the interrelation of prior invalid levies, which were contested but later upheld as necessary to address significant utility debts exceeding $23 million.
