2025 BCCRT 428
2025-04-04Split decision$113

The respondent received multiple fines totaling $600 for noise violations after playing loud music in retaliation against tenants using a shared lagoon facility. The tribunal determined all parties breached noise regulations but lowered the penalty to $200, finding the separate fines constituted duplicate punishment for one incident.

2022 BCCRT 375
2022-04-06Corporation upheld

Six strata owners disputed a revote at their annual general meeting regarding a resolution for $2 million in interior common property renovations and special assessments. The tribunal ruled the revote was properly conducted after technical problems affected the original vote. The strata's request for legal cost recovery was denied.
