Canucks Flag Part II

Last month we were talking about Jack and Jill and the Canucks flag and how not following the Strata Property Act can get a council and a strata corporation into trouble.

Now, let’s say at the General Meeting to approve that special levy for legal fees, the ownership also approved a new bylaw saying “No hockey flags are permitted”. Jill, in an effort to recoup some of those legal fees and her dignity, immediately starts fining Jack $200 for every 7 days the Canucks flag is on his balcony.

She gets a request for a Form F (Certificate of Payment) from Jack’s lawyer in order to transfer title and Jill demands payment of $800 in fi nes before giving it.

Surely she is right this time – isn’t she? Maybe not. Under Section 128(2) of the Act

If an amendment to a bylaw is approved, an Amendment to Bylaws that sets out that amendment and is in the prescribed form must be filed in the land title office and, until that filing, the amendment has no effect.

 

It seems the bylaw amendment wasn’t properly registered with a Form I by Jill.

Could it get any worse for Jill? More next month.
