Director’s harassment found to be an annoyance and a disruption
TSCC 2510 alleged that a Board member engaged in harassing and disruptive conduct that violated its governing documents and contributed to the resignation of management staff. The Board member denied wrongdoing, claiming his actions were in the condominium’s best interest.
The Tribunal found that the Board member’s conduct was intrusive and disruptive, upheld TSCC 2510’s complaint, and ordered the Board member to comply with the corporation’s governing documents. The Tribunal said:
For the reasons set out below, I find that Mr. Sharma has taken it upon himself to intrude into the management operations of TSCC 2510 in a disruptive way. His conduct became a contributing factor in the resignation of both the condominium manager and the assistant condominium manager. I find that his conduct violated TSCC 2510’s governing documents, in particular the rule on which TSCC 2510 relies. Mr. Sharma’s conduct was, in fact and in law, an annoyance and disruption. I am directing Mr. Sharma to bring himself into compliance with the governing documents of TSCC 2510 and I encourage TSCC 2510 to take specific and concrete steps to reduce the disruptive effect of such conduct.
…
Mr. Sharma acted in violation of TSCC 2510’s Rule 1(c) by harassing members of management to the point where two of them cited his conduct as a factor in their decisions to resign. This violation of Rule 1(c) consisted of conduct which was an annoyance and disruption under the Act.
