Does PIPA affect the Condominium Corporation’s use of proxy votes at meetings?
No. An owner or mortgagee may exercise the right to vote by proxy (section 26 of the Condominium Property Act). PIPA does not affect this process. It is a good idea to keep a note of what information was used to authenticate the proxy and verify the identity of the proxy holder. • Section 44 of the Condominium Property Act allows an owner to request a copy of the minutes of a general meeting. Do names and other personal information need to be severed before the minutes are released? No. Because the Condominium Property Act requires disclosure of the minutes, personal information recorded in the minutes can be released in accordance with section 20(b) of PIPA. The minutes are the permanent official legal record of the resolutions and decisions made and should not be altered. When drafting minutes, the best practice is not to record personal information is not necessary for business or legal purposes.
