The applicant, a condominium unit owner, submitted a records request to the respondent condominium corporation to obtain documents related to a mold inspection, accessibility initiatives, and other corporate records.
The respondent rejected the request, claiming the wrong form was used, and subsequently failed to participate in the tribunal proceedings.
The Condominium Authority Tribunal found that the applicant used the correct form and was entitled to the requested records under section 55 of the Condominium Act, 1998.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to produce the records and awarded the applicant $200 in costs and a $500 penalty due to the respondent's unreasonable denial and failure to participate.
