Decisions From the Ontario Courts - Oppression of Minority Owners

The article discusses three cases from the Ontario courts related to oppression of minority owners and other issues in condominium corporations. In the case of Carleton Condominium Corporation No. 396 v. Reino, the court found that the owner of a majority of units had oppressed the minority owners, resulting in personal liability for the oppressive conduct and termination of the condominium corporation. The Metropolitan Toronto Condominium Corporation No. 723 v. Reino case addressed the scope of binding status certificates and the corporation's responsibility to disclose information required by law. The Simcoe Standard Condominium Corporations Nos. 431 and 434 v. M. Atkins case dealt with a requisition to remove the board, prohibiting the use of proxies, and regulating communication with owners before a meeting.
