Illustration for Retirement Villages Act 2003

When you are looking at a dispute between a resident and another resident or person living with them, you need to understand what "previous involvement" means. You have a previous involvement in a dispute if you are related to, or live or used to live with, the person who is applying or responding to the dispute, as explained in sections 61 and 62. This is not the only way you can have a previous involvement in a dispute.
