Can a strata corporation correct a bylaw violation by issuing a new letter to the offending owner?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Watson v. The Owners, Strata Plan NW 177, 2021 BCCRT 1044 (CanLII):
57. Further, in Cheung v. The Owners, Strata Plan VR1902, 2004 BCSC 1750, the court found that a strata corporation can correct procedural unfairness issues relating to SPA section 135 by reversing fines and issuing a new letter to the offending owner in compliance with section 135. There is no other correspondence in evidence about the bylaw fines, so I find the strata did not correct its procedural unfairness.
