Verdict:
The Condominium Authority Tribunal ordered the condominium corporation to provide the requested records to the unit owner and to pay a penalty of $500 for failing to respond to the records request within the prescribed time frame. This decision underscores the importance of timely compliance with records requests under the Condominium Act, 1998.
Takeaways:
- Condominium corporations are required by law to respond to a request for records from a unit owner within a specified period.
- A failure to respond within this period can result in an order from the CAT requiring the corporation to provide the requested records and pay a penalty.
- The CAT has the authority to make orders regarding the provision of records and the payment of penalties for non-compliance.
Recommendations:
Always respond to records requests within the time required by the Condominium Act. Failure to do so can lead to Tribunal orders, financial penalties, and legal consequences for non-compliance.
