Our strata is claiming we need to remove our doormat. The note they left is as follows:
Door Mats
A recent court case awarded $150,000.00 against a body corporate where a person tripped on a doormat outside a unit (thankfully not ours). We request that doormats be removed as our insurance policy doesn't cover if any accident occurs when a person trips over a doormat. It is our understanding that unit owners insurance also does not cover such an accident.
1) Was there such a court case (mentioned in the note)?
2) Can they really compel us?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
