The applicant, a condominium unit owner, filed a case with the Condominium Authority Tribunal after the respondent corporation failed to respond to his request for board meeting minutes regarding a flood in his unit.
The respondent provided redacted minutes during the hearing but the applicant challenged the redactions related to contemplated litigation.
The Tribunal found the respondent refused the records request without a reasonable excuse and ordered a $500 penalty.
However, the Tribunal upheld the respondent's right to redact information related to actual or contemplated litigation, finding that a litigious dispute existed prior to the records request.
