Condominium Authority Tribunal Awards Costs For Archived Records

In this blog post, the author discusses a recent decision by the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) regarding the awarding of costs for archived records. The case involved a request for records that were more than 12 months old, which were subject to a fee according to the corporation's by-laws. The CAT determined that the corporation was entitled to charge a fee for accessing archived records, but also found that the fee charged in this case was unreasonable. The CAT ultimately awarded partial costs to the unit owner for their request for access to the records.
