Can they charge me??

Hi all,
I live in a leasehold flat and we have a company that takes service charges and does any work in the building.
There is a residents association (recognised) but they have nothing to do with the lease/no right to manage.
I didn't agree to any actions but the chair took the leaseholder to tribunal over costs. She is now trying to charge all of the flats for the court fees (I agree with that) but only members of the association for the work/costs of time at the tribunal. I never agreed to any of this work and never signed any contract agreeing to any action.
She is threatening to take me to court over the costs for the work as I haven't paid.
Does she have any leg to stand on?
Many thanks
