Unit owners brought a motion alleging contempt against a condominium corporation and its directors for failing to comply with a prior court endorsement enforcing minutes of settlement.
The earlier order required reinstatement of the condominium courtyard and podium landscaping to its pre‑repair configuration after the board’s alternative design failed to obtain the required two‑thirds owner approval under the Condominium Act, 1998.
The board instead implemented materially different design features, including altered planters, a different traffic circle, a new address sign, and reduced vegetation.
The court held that the prior endorsement constituted a clear and enforceable order and that the respondents deliberately and wilfully breached it.
Contempt was established beyond a reasonable doubt, and the court ordered restoration of the original configuration and imposed personal liability on the individual directors for the additional restoration costs.
