Bea v. Strata Plan LMS 2138 (British Columbia Supreme Court)

The strata corporation passed a by-law to assign specific parking spaces in its parking lot to specific owners.  One owner objected to the by-law and sought to return to the original parking state (namely, no parking restrictions).   

The Court upheld the by-law.  The court said that the by-law fell squarely within the authority of the strata Council to manage and maintain the common property for the benefit of the owners.  The Court also said that there was no evidence of oppression or bad faith.  The Court said that “the actions of the strata corporation were conducted… in the best interest of all of the owners, i.e. to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number”.
