Condo Smarts: Council charges owner for bylaw violation but won't share evidence 'My strata council has been charging me for a bylaw violation that we could not have possibly committed as we were away on holiday.'

Long ago I was told that a strata council did not have to provide details of a complaint. That would never fly in co-op housing because of natural justice issues - to know the case against you. Now natural justice is moving into the strata complaint process. theprovince.com/life/homes/c...
