The following excerpt is from Siebring v. The Owners, Strata Plan NW 2274, 2020 BCCRT 747 (CanLII):
42. While the strata had a duty of care to ensure work completed on the exterior of the building did not damage the bedroom wall of SL4, there is no evidence the strata breached its standard of care, which is reasonableness (see Leclerc v. The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 614, 2012 BCSC 74 at para 61).
