Syndicat de Copropri̩t̩ le Northcrest c. Batah (Cour sup̩rieure du Qu̩bec)

27/05/13 – Jurisdiction Quebec
Part 26 published on 01/05/09
Owners required to reverse modifications made in order to join adjacent units as well as portions of a common corridor

The owners of two adjacent condominium units had made changes to the common property in order to unite the units and also to integrate a portion of the common corridor.  A third owner had also taken steps to integrate part of the corridor into that owner’s unit.  These changes were made without any consultation or vote or amendment to the declaration.   

The Court ordered the reversal of all of the changes.  The Court said, however, that Syndicat de coprorpriété le Northcrest was required to cover the costs to reverse the changes made by one of the owners, because the Board had incorrectly given approval for those changes.
