The applicant condominium owner requested various records from the respondent condominium corporation, including unaudited financial statements, a record of owners and mortgagees, and unredacted board meeting minutes.

The Condominium Authority Tribunal found that the respondent failed to provide an adequate, unredacted list of owners and failed to keep adequate minutes of a budget meeting and resident engagement matters.

The Tribunal ordered the respondent to provide the outstanding financial statements and an unredacted list of owners, and imposed a $1,500 penalty for refusing to provide the owners' list without a reasonable excuse, along with $275 in costs.

The Condominium Authority Tribunal initiated a motion to combine two related records cases involving the same parties.

As the issues were similar, some requested records overlapped, and both parties consented, the Tribunal ordered the cases merged under Rule 4 of the CAT Rules of Practice to ensure a fair and efficient process.

The applicant brought a case before the Condominium Authority Tribunal to enforce two settlement agreements regarding requests for condominium records.

The applicant alleged that the respondent condominium corporation failed to provide certain records and that other provided records were inadequate.

The Tribunal found that the respondent failed to provide specific general ledgers and security management contracts, but substantially complied with the remaining terms of the agreements.

The Tribunal ordered the respondent to provide the missing records and reimburse the applicant's filing fees, but declined to order a penalty as the respondent had not refused to provide records without reasonable excuse.

The applicant sought records from the respondent condominium corporation.

The parties reached a settlement during the mediation stage of the Condominium Authority Tribunal's online dispute resolution process.

The Tribunal issued a consent order requiring the respondent to provide specific board meeting minutes, financial statements, governing documents, and scrutineer's reports, as well as reimburse the applicant's filing fee.
