The following excerpt is from Lee v. The Owners, Strata Plan EPS1290, 2021 BCCRT 533 (CanLII):
28. In Chorney v. Strata Plan VIS 770, 2016 BCSC 148, the court said that a strata council can investigate bylaw contravention complaints as it sees fit, as long as it complies with principles of procedural fairness and does not act significantly unfairly. This means that the strata has considerable discretion in deciding how it responds to complaints.
