British Columbia tribunal denies installation of rooftop heat pump for strata owners amid comprehensive strategy wait.

The British Columbia Civil Resolution Tribunal has denied two strata owners' request to install a rooftop heat pump, deeming the strata's decision to wait for a comprehensive strategy reasonable. Owners Kenneth Brown and Elizabeth Dales argued the refusal was overly cautious and sought $5,000 in compensation. However, the tribunal found the strata's approach, supported by broad owner consensus, was based on rational considerations and good faith.
