Part 85 published on 01/03/2024
Board Minutes were adequate. In one respect, condominium corporation had temporarily failed to comply with Minutes of Settlement.
The Applicant owner alleged that the condominium corporation had failed to comply with the terms of a settlement agreement between the parties. The Tribunal agreed that the corporation had temporarily failed to comply with one term of the settlement agreement respecting delivery of Board Meeting minutes. That non-compliance had been remedied before the hearing.
The Applicant also alleged that the Board minutes were inadequate because “some of the minutes only include agendas and are inadequate because they don’t contain basic information”. The Tribunal rejected this allegation. The Tribunal said:
The Respondent submits that while some minutes have more detail than others, this does not render them inaccurate or inadequate. I agree.
…
I find that the minutes provided included information about the date, who attended the meeting, the issues discussed, and decisions made. They were certainly not overly detailed but that is not the standard that the Respondent is held to. What is in the minutes is enough to satisfy the basic requirements of minutes.
