New Condo Authority Tribunal (CAT) Decision

A recent case before the Condominium Authority Tribunal of Ontario (CAT) provides some important findings and reminders for condominium corporations regarding record requests. The CAT found that owners are entitled to the list of units that have provided notice under Section 83 of the Condominium Act, 1998, and it is important to include certain documents when distributing Periodic Information Certificates (PICs) to owners. The CAT also reminded corporations of their obligation to provide a written statement when any redaction is made to a record and clarified that they cannot order a corporation to answer questions arising from records nor make determinations about board governance.
