Non-Disparagement Clauses Explained

What happens after a strata dispute is resolved? How can parties ensure the conflict doesn’t continue?

In this episode of the Strata Law Podcast, David Sachs explains the purpose and practical value of non-disparagement clauses in settlement agreements. He discusses how these clauses can help bring personal disputes to an end, preserve working relationships within owners corporations, and reduce the risk of ongoing conflict.

David also explores when non-disparagement clauses are appropriate, whether they are legally enforceable, and the importance of tailoring them to the specific circumstances of a dispute. Using a recent court case as an example, he explains how Australian courts approach these clauses and the key considerations when drafting or negotiating them.

Whether you’re a lot owner, strata committee member, strata manager or legal professional, this episode provides practical insights into an often-overlooked tool for achieving lasting dispute resolution.
