The applicant requested access to a legal opinion held by the strata corporation and sought compensation for gas costs paid via strata fees during a period when their fireplace was non-functional due to a defective gas valve. The tribunal denied both requests, ruling the legal opinion remained privileged and the applicant failed to demonstrate grounds for gas expense compensation.

The Windsor has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 1 times (2019–2019), surfacing 3 distinct issues across 3 categories. The dominant theme is financial disputes & fees, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated elevated. Owners prevailed in 0 of 1 decisions; total awards on record: $0.
Each category below explains what that pattern means for a buyer, with the building’s own decisions as evidence.
Financial disputes & fees
Special assessments and fee disputes hit owners directly — a single levy can run tens of thousands per unit. A pattern here means the building’s finances have been contested. Ask for the reserve-fund study and the levy history before you offer.
Building systems & safety
Electrical, HVAC, elevators, and fire safety. Disputes here point to aging or contested infrastructure — confirm the status of major systems and whether any fire-safety orders are outstanding.
Governance & council conduct
How the corporation is actually run — records access, meetings, bylaw enforcement, transparency. Repeated governance cases signal a contentious or opaque council, and that colours every decision made about your money and your building.
