Is a strata obliged to make a new emergency road?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bjarnason v. The Owners, Strata Plan VR 584, 2021 BCCRT 462 (CanLII):
70. Even if building a new emergency road is the best choice, as argued by the applicants, I find the strata is not obliged to make that choice. Further, no one owner can direct the strata how to conduct its repairs (see Swan v. The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 410, 2018 BCCRT 241). I dismiss the applicants’ claim for a new emergency access road.
