(CA012112)
Indexed As: Hill v. Strata Plan NW 2477, Owners
British Columbia Court of Appeal
Taggart, Toy and Proudfoot, JJ.A.
July 4, 1991.
Summary:
The owner developer of a strata development agreed to sell to the Hills an apartment with two parking stalls. The strata plan prescribed one parking stall per apartment. The issue here was whether the owner developer could "guarantee" the Hills exclusive use of two parking stalls.
The trial court granted relief to the Hills with respect to the use of two parking stalls. The owners appealed.
The British Columbia Court of Appeal allowed the appeal. The court held that the Hills were entitled to only one parking stall.
