The applicant unit owner sought various condominium records, including legal invoices and proxy forms, which the respondent condominium corporation initially refused to provide, citing alleged breaches of a prior Tribunal order.
The Tribunal found the applicant was entitled to all requested records and that the respondent had no reasonable excuse for its initial refusal.
The Tribunal permitted the respondent to minimally redact the records for solicitor-client privilege and statutory privacy exemptions, and approved a reasonable fee of $1,070 for the redaction process.
Due to the respondent's unjustified refusal, the Tribunal ordered a $2,000 penalty against the respondent, but declined to award costs to either party.
