CAT Awards Enforcement Costs

The blog post discusses a recent decision by the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) in Ontario, which awarded enforcement costs to a condominium corporation. The corporation had successfully brought a case against a unit owner who was in violation of the condominium's declaration and rules. The post explains that the CAT has the power to award costs in cases where a party has acted unreasonably, frivolously, or vexatiously, and that this decision shows that the CAT is willing to use this power to promote compliance with condominium rules and regulations. The post concludes by encouraging condominium corporations to pursue enforcement through the CAT when necessary, and to keep proper records of the costs involved.
