How have the owners of a strata approved a large project?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Mitoi v. The Owners, Strata Plan NW 2738, 2018 BCCRT 721 (CanLII):
56. I agree with the reasoning in Page v. Section 1 of The Owners, Strata Plan NW 2099, 2017 BCCRT 84, that when a strata approves a large project, it empowers its executive to make non-significant changes without seeking fresh approval from the owners. Otherwise, work on large projects would inevitably be delayed, potentially at a significant cost.
