Letâs talk numbers – because feelings aside, thatâs what keeps our building afloat (or sinks it).
âď¸ The Current Reality
As of this fiscal year (since June 2025), our legal expenses have already exceeded $ 80,000, according to the latest financials.
Thatâs money taken directly from ownersâ pockets – not for improvements, not for maintenance, but for litigation the Board chose to pursue and prolong.
This is on top of the hundreds of thousands already spent in past years fighting residents, including me, over issues that could have been resolved with basic decency and dialogue.
đ¨ Whatâs Still Coming
Two major legal fronts remain open:
- My oppression claim under the Condominium Act – already argued before the Superior Court.
If the corporation loses, the court can order costs against the corporation – meaning you pay for the Boardâs decisions. - My Human Rights Tribunal case – if it proceeds to adjudication this fiscal year, the corporation will again need to retain counsel, prepare evidence, and potentially face damages and costs.
đŁ The Consequence
If either of these cases results in an adverse ruling or further legal activity before year-end, there is a significant risk of a second special assessment.
That means another unexpected bill – not because of inflation or emergencies, but because of avoidable mismanagement and poor judgment.
𧞠The Bottom Line
Every dollar spent on legal posturing is a dollar not spent on the building – on roofs, plumbing, maintenance, or safety.
So ask yourself:
Are you willing to pay again for their pride?
