Compliance with CAT Rules: The case underscores the importance of adhering to the rules and procedures of the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT). Rule 32.3, which allows for the closure of a case in Stage 2 - Mediation if the applicant doesn't progress to Stage 3 within a specified timeframe, was applied in this instance.

Timely Case Progression: Applicants should be mindful of the timelines provided by CAT rules. Failure to advance a case within the stipulated time can result in its closure. In this case, the applicant was given more than 30 days to move to Stage 3 but did not do so.

Clear Orders: The CAT's dismissal order is clear and straightforward, providing a concise summary of the case's progression, the rule applied, and the resulting decision. This clarity in orders helps maintain transparency and understanding in the tribunal process.

Confidentiality: The order emphasizes the confidentiality of documents and messages shared during different stages of the case, unless required by law to be disclosed to specific entities, such as government organizations or courts.

Legal Representation: While the applicant in this case was self-represented, the respondent was represented by a manager. This highlights the potential advantages of legal representation in condominium-related matters, where complex issues may arise.
