Carleton Condominium Corporation No. 125 v. English

Corporation:

​

Date:

2024-11-14

Summary:

In this case, the applicant sought records from their condominium corporation, which were either not provided or were provided with redaction. The Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) of Ontario ruled that the condominium corporation's redaction and non-disclosure were unjustified, ordering them to provide the records without redaction and pay the applicant's costs.

Under:

Records

Verdict:

The CAT ordered the condominium corporation to provide the requested records without redaction, and to pay the applicant's costs of $200. This case highlights the importance of transparency and the need for condo corporations to comply with their obligations under the Condominium Act, 1998.

Takeaways:

- Condominium corporations must provide records to unit owners upon request, unless there is a valid reason for redaction or non-disclosure.
- Corporations should ensure they are familiar with and understand the rules regarding what constitutes a valid reason for redaction or non-disclosure.
- Condo corporations may be ordered to pay costs if they unjustifiably refuse to provide records or unnecessarily redact them.

Recommendations: 

Improper redactions or refusals to disclose records can lead to penalties—condo corporations must follow the law and provide full access unless redaction is legally justified
