Sakala v. York Condominium Corporation No. 344 (Condominium Authority Tribunal) February 2, 2022

02/02/2022 – Jurisdiction Ontario
Part 77 published on 01/03/2022
Proxies must be redacted for private information

The owner requested copies of unredacted proxy forms received by the condominium corporation in relation to the corporation’s recent AGM. The Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) confirmed that the owner was only entitled to see redacted proxies. The CAT said:

The proxy forms must be redacted for information which identifies specific units or owners of YCC 344.

The owner also asked to see a copy of the corporation’s “summary excel spreadsheet” used to record information from paper proxy forms. The CAT said that the owner would be entitled to see the spreadsheet, but would need to submit a further request for it, since the owner had only asked to see the proxies. The CAT said:

I further find that the summary excel spreadsheet does not constitute an instrument appointing a proxy and that Ms. Sakala must make a separate request for this record to YCC 344.
