Hi I wanted to know if anyway can tell me if a summons from NCAT is actually enforceable. I am a landlord and the ex tenant left the place quite dirty and damage. (We have sacked the agent because of this). The ex tenant has summons 15 people to the hearing including tradespeople that we paid to do repairs.
Its an absolute farce.

I have read online from others that they can't enforce a summons. The NCAT refuse to respond and provide a standard response such as its up to the member. The procedural directions do not refer to this at all and I can't find anything in the ACT. I suspect this is the case.

Can anyone help?

Plus verbally I was told by NCAT that I dont have to attend the evidence summons hearing but again they won't put it in wtiting.
