With the publication today of its Consultation Paper on Complex Stratas, the British Columbia Law Institute’s Strata Property Law Project Committee is asking the public for its views on proposed reforms to the Strata Property Act and the Strata Property Regulation concerning sections, types, and phases. Our Pat Williams, the Committee Chair, explains, "Sections and types allow a strata corporation to manage cost sharing between groups of owners, while phases permit the development of a strata property in segments over an extended time." The consultation is open until January 15, 2017.
Clark Wilson would like to congratulate our lawyers, Diane Bell, Q.C., Veronica Franco, Mark Weintraub, Q.C., Geoff White and Pat Williams for being mentioned on the Continuing Legal Education Society of BC's Most Prolific Volunteers list from 1996 to 2016.
