The owner alleged the strata corporation failed to conduct proper council hearings, deliver meeting records, cover water damage insurance costs, and caused distress. The tribunal rejected nearly all allegations, determining no statutory violations occurred with council procedures since the owner didn't respond to meeting invitations, and found no negligence in repair handling. Only requirement was providing specific meeting minutes from October 8, 2020 if that session took place.

Elan has been before the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal 1 times (2022–2022), surfacing 3 distinct issues across 2 categories. The dominant theme is governance & council conduct, and the highest-severity issue on record is rated high. 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.
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.
Water, envelope & structural
Water ingress, roof, and building-envelope failures are the most expensive problems a condo faces, and they’re what drive large special assessments. Structural cases on record are the strongest reason to commission an engineer’s review of the envelope.
