Representation of Co-owners

This decision sheds important light on your property rights. Here's what it means for you.

The Situation

The representation of co-owners by the co-ownership association in proceedings concerning common areas does not preclude a co-owner, who holds an exclusive right of enjoyment over those common areas, from having a personal right that escapes representation by the association.

What the Law Says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key Points

• Strictly observe the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, acts, correspondence)
• Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
