The applicant, a unit owner, submitted requests for various condominium records.

The respondent condominium corporation failed to provide certain contracts and board meeting minutes, claiming the minutes did not exist because business was conducted via email.

The Tribunal found that the corporation failed to keep adequate records by not maintaining board meeting minutes, in violation of the Condominium Act.

The Tribunal ordered the corporation to provide the requested contracts, the manager's records of board approvals, and required the directors to retake mandatory training.

Costs of $200 were awarded to the applicant.

The applicant, a condominium unit owner, submitted a request for various non-core records from the respondent condominium corporation.

The respondent agreed to provide the records but charged fees based on an hourly rate of $65, which the applicant disputed as unreasonable.

The Condominium Authority Tribunal found the $65 hourly rate unjustified and reduced it to $32 per hour.

Because the respondent's initially requested fees were unreasonably high and acted as a barrier, the Tribunal ordered the respondent to provide most of the requested records at no cost and to reimburse the applicant's $200 filing fee.
