The Litigation Committee Or, Why You Shouldn’t Have All Owners Vote On A Settlement Proposal

Having all owners vote on a settlement proposal in condominium litigation may not be the best approach. Deciding on a settlement offer requires considering various factors, legal concepts, and risks, which may be difficult to convey to a large group of owners. Instead, it is recommended to appoint a small litigation committee of three members with unfettered discretion to make decisions on the litigation. This committee can focus on the legal issues and make informed decisions. The ownership should still be apprised of the litigation's status through status reports and updates at annual general meetings, but major decisions should be handled by the litigation committee.
