Strata Plan VIS 4534 v. Seedtree Water Utility Co.

24/07/13 – Jurisdiction British Columbia
Part 13 published on 01/02/06
Strata owners jointly liable for judgment against corporation

In British Columbia, all strata owners in the strata corporation are jointly liable to a judgment creditor of the strata corporation. [Section 166 of the Strata Property Act.] 

In this case, the Plaintiff had obtained judgement against the Strata Corporation and sought to execute against a Strata Lot.  The Court said: 

“The judgment is secured in full against each strata lot.  As among themselves, the owners are each only liable for their proportionate shares but the judgment creditor is entitled to payment in full before releasing any charge” (i.e. before releasing any strata lot from execution under the judgment).
