The applicant brought two cases before the Condominium Authority Tribunal regarding requests for condominium records.

The parties reached an agreement through the Tribunal's online dispute resolution system to resolve both cases.

The Tribunal issued a consent order closing the cases and ordering the respondent condominium corporation to pay $3,000 to the applicant.

The applicant, a condominium unit owner, filed an application with the Condominium Authority Tribunal alleging the respondent corporation failed to provide requested reserve fund records and failed to use the mandatory board response form.

The Tribunal found that the respondent had provided the requested general ledger within the prescribed 30-day period and that the audited financial statements contained adequate details.

Although the respondent failed to use the mandatory response form, no penalty was warranted as there was no refusal to provide records.

The application was dismissed without costs.

The applicant, a condominium unit owner, filed an application with the Condominium Authority Tribunal alleging the respondent condominium corporation failed to provide requested records and the mandatory board response form within the prescribed 30-day period.

The respondent provided the records shortly after the application was filed.

The Tribunal found the respondent breached its statutory obligations by responding late and failing to use the mandatory form, but declined to order a penalty as the delay was minimal and not a refusal without reasonable excuse.

The Tribunal also found the provided invoice was adequate and declined to award costs to either party, resulting in no order being made.

The applicant, a condominium owner, submitted a records request for incident reports about himself.

The respondent condominium corporation refused the request, citing the exemption for records related to actual or contemplated litigation under section 55(4)(b) of the Condominium Act, 1998.

The Condominium Authority Tribunal found that the requested records were directly related to an ongoing arbitration between the parties regarding the applicant's alleged behaviour.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, concluding the respondent was justified in refusing the records.

The Tribunal declined to award costs to either party due to inappropriate conduct by both sides during the proceedings.

The applicant, a condominium unit owner, requested copies of legal invoices referencing his unit from the respondent condominium corporation.

The respondent refused, claiming solicitor-client and litigation privilege, and statutory exemptions under the Condominium Act, 1998.

The Tribunal found that the respondent had waived privilege by disclosing the total amount of the legal fees and the general nature of the advice in a letter to all owners.

The Tribunal ordered the respondent to provide the requested records, subject to redactions for the specific legal advice given, upon payment of a $66.80 production fee.

No costs or penalties were awarded.

The applicant and the respondent condominium corporation reached an agreement to settle a dispute over a records request.

They requested the Condominium Authority Tribunal to incorporate their agreement into a Consent Order.

The Tribunal issued the Consent Order, requiring the respondent to provide electronic copies of 2018 financial statements, subject to a $30 fee and redactions for confidential employee information.

The applicant sought condominium records from the respondent corporation.

The parties reached a settlement using the Condominium Authority Tribunal's online system.

The tribunal issued a consent order requiring the respondent to produce the 2017 general ledger for operating and reserve funds, subject to redactions, and requiring the applicant to pay $120.10 for the costs of production.

The applicant filed an application with the Condominium Authority Tribunal seeking a penalty against the respondent condominium corporation for failing to maintain records.

The applicant had previously been declared a vexatious litigant by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

The Tribunal found that while the court order did not strictly prohibit the applicant from filing an application with the Tribunal, the application itself was vexatious under s. 1.41 of the Condominium Act.

The Tribunal concluded the application was an attempt to continue a dispute already determined by the courts and was brought for an improper purpose.

The application was dismissed without a hearing.
