McKenzie v. Condominium First Management Services Ltd. (Alberta Provincial Court)

22/05/13 – Jurisdiction Alberta
Part 25 published on 01/02/09
Unit owner can sue condominium manager for negligence

One of the unit owners in the condominium sued the condominium corporation’s management company for damage caused to two vehicles when one of the vehicles slid due to snow and ice on one of the condominium roadways.  The Court expressed doubt about the right of the unit owner to sue the manager for breach of contract, but concluded that the unit owner could assert a claim against the manager in tort (i.e. for negligence).  The Court found that the manager was negligent and awarded damages to the owner.
