The applicant, a condominium unit owner, sought various records from the respondent condominium corporation, including AGM video recordings, an LED lighting rebate application, and security video footage of an altercation with the property manager.

The Condominium Authority Tribunal found that the requested records either did not exist, were not records of the corporation, or had already been provided.

Consequently, there was no refusal to provide records without a reasonable excuse.

However, because some records from an earlier request were only provided during mediation, the Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay $75 in costs to the applicant.

The applicant, a condominium unit owner, applied to the Condominium Authority Tribunal alleging the respondent corporation failed to provide requested records relating to a lobby renovation.

The respondent had provided the reserve fund study but withheld correspondence with legal consultants, citing the litigation exemption under s. 55(4)(b) of the Condominium Act and solicitor-client privilege.

The Tribunal found that the withheld records were protected by solicitor-client privilege and the litigation exemption, and that some requested records did not exist.

The application was dismissed without costs or penalties.
