    NSW Can I summon a solicitor to produce a statement they provided legal advice?

    I'm an owner in a strata building and last year the executive committee got legal advice on problem with the building. The thing is they don't want to tell anyone the outcome as it probably puts them in bad light since they're responsible for the problem. I've since filed an NCAT application...
