CONDOMINIUM AUTHORITY TRIBUNAL
DATE: December 8, 2025
CASE: 2025-00815N
Citation: Toronto Standard Condominium Corporation No. 1850 v. Karancha, Curtis, 2025 ONCAT 209
Order under section 1.41 of the Condominium Act, 1998.
Member: Ian Darling, Chair.
The Applicant, Toronto Standard Condominium Corporation No. 1850
Represented by Jeff Johnathan, Agent
The Respondents, Eugen Karancha, Self-Represented
Ruth Curtis
Motion Process Dates: November 7, 2025 to November 14, 2025
DISMISSAL ORDER
1This application was submitted to the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) on October 31, 2025. The CAT has reviewed the application, and proposed to dismiss this application under Rule 19.1 of the CAT’s Rules of Practice for the following reasons:
Quorum and approval
This application identifies Eugen Karancha and Ruth Curtis as the Respondents. They are 2 directors of the 3‑director board of Toronto Standard Condominium Corporation No. 1850 (“TSCC 1850” or “Applicant”). Jeff Johnathan, filing on behalf of TSCC 1850, is the third director of the board.
It is unclear, from information provided by Jeff Johnathan, whether the board was aware and approved the filing of this application. In order to commence a CAT application on behalf of a condo corporation, a quorum of the board of directors must have knowledge of it and have approved it.
Jurisdiction
- CAT’s jurisdiction is established in Ontario Regulation 179/17, a regulation under the Condominium Act, 1998. The issues described in the application are outside of this jurisdiction. The issues in dispute are about a governance dispute between board members. Other issues related to dangerous conditions, meetings and director’s code of conduct are also mentioned.
2The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Application and gave the corporation an opportunity to respond to the Tribunal’s concerns with the Application.
3The Tribunal received a response from Eugen Karancha, purported to be written on behalf of the board of directors. The response requested that the Tribunal allow the case to proceed to address the governance concerns within the community.
4At this point, the Tribunal had received communication from opposing sides in a dispute – each holding out to be representing the corporation. Each requesting the Tribunal to help resolve the governance issues.
5There is no way this application can proceed. The conflict is between individual board members, and both sides claim to be acting as the corporation. Neither party has provided enough information to determine who has the authority to act on behalf of the corporation. Further, the Tribunal has no authority to address the governance issues that were identified in the initial application or further elaborated in the response to the Notice.
6In dismissing the case, I want to make it clear that the Tribunal makes no finding of fact related to the underlying disputes.
ORDER
7The Tribunal orders the application dismissed.
