A condominium corporation applied for an order requiring unit owners to comply with condominium bylaws, permit installation of an energy meter, and pay related installation and water charges.
The unit owners resisted installation and advanced a cross‑application alleging non‑compliance with s. 97 of the Condominium Act, 1998 and seeking relief under the oppression remedy in s. 135.
The court found the condominium board acted fairly and reasonably, that replacement of energy meters did not constitute a “change” under s. 97, and that the oppression claim was unsupported.
The court ordered the unit owners to reimburse installation costs, pay outstanding water charges, comply with the condominium bylaws, and pay $15,000 in costs.
