January 2010 (Volume 5, Issue 1)
Dear Paddocks Press Fan2010 is set to be a memorable year for all of us. All around we see the evidence of major capital expenditure on our country's infrastructure. We look forward to enjoying the use of these facilities for many years after the final whistle is blown in the World Cup soccer final.
Now, if we can get some of that energy transferred to revitalising Eskom's human and technical infrastructure... who knows what we can achieve!
Late last year we changed the format of Paddocks Press to make it more accessible. This year sees a change to the monthly publication deadline: look for the new edition on the last Wednesday of each month.
This year will also see new aspects introduced into the UCT Sectional Title Scheme Development course and a repeat of the very successful Law of Sectional Title Meetings course.

Insurance and the home owner’s association

Insurance

When we think of community living and insurance, we usually think about sectional title insurance, because it is under the sectional title environment, where the buildings have to be insured by the body corporate, the responsibility of the management of the scheme.
Within the home owner’s association environment, it is somewhat different. In this article Mike looks at the issue of insurance within a home owners’ association environment. (reading time: ± 3 mins)

A thorough look at section 39(1) of “the Act”

In terms of section 39(1) of the Sectional Titles Act, 1986 (“the Act”),
“The functions and powers of the body corporate shall, subject to the provisions of this Act, the rules and any restriction imposed or direction given at a general meeting of the owners of sections, be performed and exercised by the trustees of the body corporate holding office in terms of the rules.”
Jennifer takes a closer look at section 39(1) and answers a few questions relating to the power and authority of the trustees and owners. (reading time: ± 3 mins)
Sealants and goalies – One and the same #2

Maintenance

Why should goalies stay fit? Why should inspections and maintenance be performed on sealants?
