What are the implications of the BCRA's rule 9.24.4 that says legal fees are only reimbursed in extraordinary cases?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Steele v. The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 257, 2019 BCCRT 1137 (CanLII):
24. Tribunal rule 9.4 that says legal fees are only reimbursed in extraordinary cases, and the tribunal generally does not award parties compensation for their time spent on dealing with the dispute. In assessing whether this was an extraordinary case I considered several authorities, including Napoleone v. The Owners, Strata Plan BCS 2460 et al, 2018 BCCRT 246. While not binding, I find Napoleone persuasive.
