Part 92 published on 01/12/2025
The Corporation had provided the requested records.
The owner alleged that requested records had not been provided in adequate form and that there had been improper redaction (over-redaction) of board minutes. The Tribunal held that the owner received all entitled records despite minor delivery delays. The Corporation had a reasonable excuse for failing to provide three historical minutes it could not locate. Over-redaction issues were resolved during mediation. The Tribunal said:
Finally, while I have found there is no need to make any orders regarding the redactions of the records at issue, going forward I encourage the corporation to review its redaction practices and ensure that it is only redacting information that is considered reasonably likely to identify another owner or unit, where that is the basis for the redaction, and provide with any request the appropriate accompanying statement which identifies the reason for each specific redaction.
The application was dismissed and neither a penalty nor costs were awarded. Canham v. Toronto Standard Condominium Corporation No. 2160, 2025 ONCAT 168
