In the January 2014 report of the Board of Directors, it was stated, “Mr. Justice Benjamin Goldstein has kindly offered his assistance to fully reviewing the 1993 Condo Act to attempt to help us clarify“. “We are grateful for his experience and time.” This issue of course, related to legal responsibility for the cost of replacing damaged front wall windows in our building.

Mr. Goldstein has failed to provide any such review and has simply left the matter in limbo. He and his fellow Board members, have not only rejected compliance wtih the laws governing this issue, but more importantly, have clearly demonstrated  a most troubling lack of respect for their fellow residents.

Should our Corporation require a legal opinion on any matter with relevance to the interest of any or all unit owners of our Corporation, only QUALIFIED AND INDEPENDENT legal resources should be used. In this matter, one needs only to read Section 8 (2) of the Condominium Property Act. No legal opinion is required.

It is clear that our Corporation is in fact responsible for the replacement of any wall window, where damage has been reported by the unit owner, an inspection conducted, and where it has been determined that the owner is not responsible for the cause of the damage through their own negligence.

This responsibility is clearly defined in the Condominium Property Act.
