The applicant unit owner sought a $5,000 penalty and costs against the respondent condominium corporation for failing to provide requested core records in a timely manner.
The Tribunal found that the corporation's delay, attributed to a change in management, amounted to a refusal without a reasonable excuse.
However, the Tribunal declined to award a penalty or costs, noting the applicant's history of using records requests to inappropriately address governance disputes and penalize the board.
Instead, the Tribunal ordered the corporation to distribute a copy of the decision to all unit owners to inform them of the board's failure to meet its statutory obligations.
