CONDOMINIUM AUTHORITY TRIBUNAL
DATE: August 20, 2025
CASE: 2025-00565N
Citation: Suppa v. Toronto Standard Condominium Corporation No. 2850, 2025 ONCAT 142
Order under section 1.41 of the Condominium Act, 1998.
Member: Ian Darling, Chair
The Applicant: Alexander Suppa (Self-represented)
The Respondent: Toronto Standard Condominium Corporation No. 2850
Submission Dates: August 11, 2025 to August 18, 2025
DISMISSAL ORDER
1This order explains why the Tribunal is dismissing this case under Rule 19.1 of the CAT’s Rules of Practice, because it has no legal power to hear or decide upon the dispute.
2This application identifies the issue as the chargeback the Applicant received from the Respondent, Toronto Standard Condominium Corporation No. 2850 (“TSCC 2850”). According to the Applicant’s Problem Description, he disputes the reasonableness of a chargeback issued by TSCC 2850 for repairs caused by water damage that allegedly originated from the Applicant’s unit.
3The Tribunal does not have jurisdiction over repairs and maintenance (covered by s. 89 and 90 of the Condominium Act, 1998). Furthermore, the Tribunal can only address chargeback disputes when the issue which resulted in the chargeback is among the matters that fall within our jurisdiction (as stated in s. 1 (1) (d) (iv) of Ontario Regulation 179/17).
4The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss. In response, the Applicant asserts that the chargeback is unfair, and that the Tribunal should be able to deal with these types of disputes.
5I make no finding on the fairness of the chargeback. The Tribunal does not have the power to decide this dispute because the issues are not within the jurisdiction of the CAT. Accordingly, I order that this case be dismissed.
ORDER
6The Tribunal orders the application dismissed.
