Corporation:

CVTSCC1644

Date:

2025-06-20

Summary:

The Condominium Corporation No. 32 filed a case against the owner, Mr. Benvenuto, for his failure to comply with the order to produce records. After reviewing the evidence and the corporation's application, the Condominium Authority Tribunal of Ontario (CAT) concluded that Mr. Benvenuto had indeed failed to comply with the order.

Under:

Records

Verdict:

The Tribunal ordered Mr. Benvenuto to comply with the order to produce records and to pay the legal costs of the corporation. This case underscores the authority of the CAT to enforce its orders and the importance of compliance with these orders for condominium owners.

Takeaways:

- The CAT has the jurisdiction to enforce its own orders, and non-compliance can lead to legal consequences for the offending party.
- Condominium owners have an obligation to comply with CAT orders, including those requiring the production of records.
- The CAT may impose monetary penalties for non-compliance, and it can also order the non-compliant party to pay the legal costs of the other party.

Recommendations: 

- Condominium boards and managers should ensure that they are familiar with the CAT's orders and the obligations these orders impose.
- If an order is not complied with, it may be necessary to take legal action to ensure compliance and protect the interests of the condominium corporation.
- Boards and managers should keep accurate and up-to-date records, and be prepared to produce these records if required by a CAT order.
