The dominant theme is governance & council conduct, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated elevated. Owners prevailed in 0 of 4 decisions; total awards on record: $628.

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.
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.
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.
A strata council member wanted the strata corporation to include more detailed information in meeting minutes, specifically recording motions that weren't seconded. The tribunal dismissed the claim, finding that stratas are not required to document motions that are not seconded or voted on.
The applicant, a council member, sought to compel the strata corporation to adopt rules mandating comprehensive documentation of all proposed motions in meeting minutes, regardless of whether they received seconders. The tribunal ruled against the claim, determining that statutory requirements only mandate recording of actual votes and final decisions rather than detailed procedural documentation.
A resident disputed $400 in penalties levied by their strata corporation for having unleashed dogs in shared areas. The tribunal determined the strata failed to follow proper procedures under section 135 of the Strata Property Act and ordered refund of fines plus costs, but rejected the applicant's $9,000 damages claim.
