HOT TOPIC: ALBERTA COURT CONFIRMS MANDATE OF THE BOARD

A recent decision of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench contains a nice statement of the mandate of a condominium’s Board of Directors. In the particlar case, the Board had decided to levy a special assessment, and one of the owners challenged the Board. The Court confirmed that the Board is elected to manage the condominium. As long as the Board acts in a prudent and responsible fashion, the Court will not order the Board to implement any alternatives or options (preferable or not) that might have been available to the Board. Here is the case:

Dykun v. Cravenbrook Condominium Corporation No. 032 1893 (Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench)
