The twelve new proposed orders are divided into the following new categories to be introduced:

1. Contractual Issues
2. Adjudication orders
3. Trustees
4. Administrators
5. Managing agents

If the draft directive is to be accepted and published, the CSOS’s jurisdiction will be expanded. Applicants will be able to apply for a wider range of orders and in cases where CSOS Adjudicators’ hands would previously have been tied, they would now have wider powers to grant those types of orders. Notably, orders dealing with a breach of fiduciary duty by trustees and wrongdoings by managing agents would then fall within the CSOS’s jurisdiction – something community scheme owners have been pleading for for some time.
