The applicant condominium owner requested copies of board meeting minutes from the respondent condominium corporation.

The respondent provided some minutes but missed others due to a change in property management companies and administrative oversight.

The applicant sought a penalty against the respondent for refusing to provide the records without reasonable excuse.

The Condominium Authority Tribunal found that the respondent did not intentionally withhold the records and that the failure was due to administrative oversight.

The request for a penalty was dismissed, but the applicant was awarded $210 in costs for the earlier stages of the proceeding.

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

The parties requested that their agreement be incorporated into a Consent Order.

The Tribunal issued the Consent Order, which required the applicant to pay a labour fee of $30 per hour, up to an estimated $900, for the production of the requested records, and required the respondent to produce the records and refund any difference if the actual labour time was less than estimated.
