Is a strata entitled to add other parties to its remedies in a dispute with an applicant?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Mykle-Hotzon v. The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 1372 et al, 2018 BCCRT 609 (CanLII):
45. Therefore, as for the strata’s argument that other parties must be added, I do not agree. Given the applicant’s remedies only relate to the strata, I find that the addition of other parties does not appear to be warranted. As I found in Fisher v. The Owners, Strata Plan VR 1420, 2018 BCCRT 151, I agree with the applicant that applicant’s claims in this dispute are only against the strata. Namely, claims that the strata is responsible to reimburse her for legal and engineering fees, plus moving, temporary accommodation, and storage expenses. Any claims the strata has against other parties are not relevant to this dispute.
