What is the test for overturning a strata council’s decision regarding the repair option selected?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Karlovits et al v. The Owners, Strata Plan KAS 1634, 2019 BCCRT 71 (CanLII):
31. As noted in Weir v. Strata Plan NW 17, 2010 BCSC 784, a strata corporation may have several reasonable options available to undertake necessary repairs. The fact that one of the options may be a more cautious approach or even turn out in hindsight to be the less wise or preferable course of action will not give the court a basis for overturning a strata council’s decision regarding the repair option selected, if the option selected is a reasonable one.
