One of the biggest lies this board keeps repeating is:
“We cannot disclose anything about the lawsuits. It’s all confidential.”
That is simply not true.
⚖️ The Judicial System Is Public
- Court proceedings in Ontario (and across Canada) are built on open justice.
- Hearings are held in open court. Anyone can walk in and listen.
- Court decisions are published online for the public to read (on CanLII and court websites).
There are very narrow exceptions where records can be sealed or redacted (for example, in cases involving children or sensitive national security issues). Condo lawsuits are not one of those exceptions.
🚫 Why They Won’t Tell You
If the board hides behind “confidentiality,” it’s not because the court demands it.
It’s because they don’t want you to see what actually happened:
- The facts and evidence filed against them.
- Their failed arguments and lies.
- Judicial findings that don’t paint them in a flattering light.
They know the record would expose their fault and mismanagement, so they prefer to spin a narrative where they are “forbidden” from telling you.
🕵️ Don’t Let Them Fool You
- Nothing in these cases is secret.
- You, as owners, have the right to know what your money is paying for in legal battles.
- If the board truly believed in transparency, they would provide case numbers, links to public judgments, and straightforward explanations of what the court ruled.
The truth is simple: they aren’t silent because they must be. They’re silent because they want to be.
