Can a strata terminate its contract with either a property management company or legal counsel?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from The Owners, Strata Plan NW 2243 v. Cole, 2018 BCCRT 823 (CanLII):
129. I see no reason to order the strata to terminate its contract with either the property management company or legal counsel. The owner has failed to show that either party has acted contrary to the strata’s interests, as a whole. I pause here to note that such a concept does not mean acting in the best interests of each sole strata owner, but acting toward the greatest good for the greater number of owners (see Gentis v. Strata Plan VR 368, 2003 BCSC 120).
