If the owners of a duplex jointly agree to work as a functional strata for the rest of the year, can the owners then seek a court order appointing an administrator to run the strata?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Cartier v. Huskins et al., 2019 BCCRT 95 (CanLII):
27. In the event such a deadlock continues, and the owners are unable to work as a functional strata, either owner may seek a court order appointing an administrator to run the strata for them. It would not be the first deadlocked duplex to be run by an administrator: see Anthony v. Schnapp, 2016 BCSC 1839.
