The applicant, a condominium owner, filed a request for core records which the respondent condominium corporation ignored until after the applicant commenced a Tribunal proceeding.
The corporation eventually provided the existing records but revealed that no board meetings had been held for a year, with decisions instead made by email.
The Tribunal found that emails are not adequate records of board decisions and directed the corporation to provide minutes once the email decisions were retroactively approved at a proper meeting.
The Tribunal ordered the corporation to pay a $2,000 penalty for its initial unexcused refusal to provide the records, plus $150 in costs.
