In Matlock v. Ottawa-Carleton Standard, <\/i>2024 ONSC 6645 <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A condominium owner represented by Jason Rabin<\/a> of Gibson Tanner Rabin LLP succeeded in a claim against his condominium corporation for unreasonable delay in repairing damage to his unit caused by a roof leak from the building\u2019s mechanical room in December 2021. At the time the case was heard in 2024, almost 2 \u00bd years after the initial leak, the condominium unit was still not habitable and the condominium did not have a timetable for completion of the repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his June 4, 2024 decision, Justice Roger of the Superior Court of Justice, granted the application, concluding that there had been unreasonable delay in repairing the unit. Justice Roger, accepting the evidence of the applicant\u2019s forensic engineer, concluded that the condominium should have repaired the damage by June 30, 2023 at the latest. Consequently, Justice Roger awarded the condominium owner applicant damages in the amount of $60,364.91 equal to approximately one year\u2019s worth of his expenses in carrying the condominium unit that he could not enjoy, plus an additional sum of $5,498.36 per month for every month the condominium corporation failed to fix the unit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the subject of costs, Justice Roger accepted the condominium owner\u2019s argument that under the <\/span>Condominium Act<\/span><\/i>, he was entitled to be reimbursed for the \u201cfull indemnity\u201d legal costs he had incurred in bringing the application and not the \u201cpartial indemnity\u201d costs normally awarded to successful litigants in Ontario. Although previous courts had awarded condominium corporations full indemnity costs under s. 134(3) of the <\/span>Condominium Act<\/span><\/i>, no court had previously awarded a condominium owner costs on this scale against a condominium corporation. Justice Roger accepted the applicant\u2019s argument that s. 134(3) of the <\/span>Condominium Act<\/span><\/i> applied to condominium owners and awarded the applicant his full indemnity costs totaling $71,734.32.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
