Known Issues (news/court)

[lawsuit_or_court - construction deficiencies / building envelope] A condominium corporation sued the developer over alleged design and construction deficiencies at its Edmonton condominium project, and the developer brought in 71 third-party trades/subtrades; the court found the plaintiff failed to advance the 2011-commenced action at a reasonable pace causing inordinate and inexcusable delay, and dismissed the main action under Rule 4.31, which rendered the third-party delay applications moot and led to dismissal of the third-party claims as well. (2022-09-16); [lawsuit_or_court - human rights / accommodation] A disabled owner complained to the Alberta Human Rights Commission after the condo board reassigned his parking stall near the elevator to bicycle storage, requiring him to use a narrower, more distant stall; the Corporation sought judicial review arguing the Commission lacked jurisdiction over owner complaints against condominium corporations. The Court dismissed the application, finding it reasonable for the Commission to treat owners as the Corporation's 'public' for services under s.4 of the Alberta Human Rights Act and to proceed with investigating the complaint.
