Six years after being hit with a judicial award of $ 18 K - a mere fraction of what the condo corporation incurred legally to gain access to replace the final of 50 utility meters - an Ottawa condo co-owner has been hit for a new interim or interlocutory injunction.

Not everyone accepts willingly that respectfully "one must carefully pick & choose one's battles" within the condo / strata / Building Scheme / HOA universes. Some refuse to - or tempermentally cannot - accept boundaries.

Here a now S.R.L self-represented condo co-owner is hit with an interim injunction for years of further demands & interpersonal activities that are actually held to have risen to the levels of dangerous workplace harassment.

Those appear at the very least to have sometimes bizarrely obstructed physical maintenance & common element repair activities.

Pending ultimate completion of judicial process the new interlocutory injunction allows the owner channels of representation ( to interact with governancers ) under circumscribed channels.

Other unrelated Ottawa judicial outcomes ( including CAFCOR topics here ) have suggested for many years that this co-owner's City is NO LONGER the city in which to raise much Cain assertively with condo governancers ( nor alternatively even with one's Building Scheme Boards ). To NOW START TRYING to legally defend such around here without professional legal counsel, is even more risky in the Ottawa environment at least since 2000.

1 - This has not been Ontario condo litigation's first injunction for behaviours held both workplace harassment safety issue ( WHSA ) and Condo Act s 117.

See 2017 Directors Forum topic :

YCC # 163 v Robinson 2017 ONSC 2419 issued April 19/17 “RESTRAINT ORDER & $ 15 K award hits toxic staff E-MAIL ABUSER Y.C.C. # 163 v ROBINSON”

xcrpted :
“ . . . . she emails the management office virtually every day asking for various records kept by the building management, critiquing the effectiveness of management, and complaining about building maintenance. . . . . . . .in order to ensure she gets staff’s attention, she calls them degrading names – “obscenely obese”, “massive hulk”, “tubbo”, are some of the ways she addresses the people that work in her building. . . .”

2 - Back in Ottawa now, the S.R.L. self-represented Mr Friend here unfortunately gets himself held to have physically contacted individuals three times - arguably not threateningly - as well as to have bizarrely obstructed repair contractors. Further, Mr. Friend's chance personal encounters with Directors ( eg in the confine of elevators ) seem to have conjured up some "over the top" scenarios for the condo corp to work with . . . .

It's also a short judicial leap to see deliberate ongoing provocation by Mr. Friend's defiance in leaving winter boots in common hallway ( safety code issues & Rule violation ) & kayak in his parking space . . .

Not very hard to see Ottawa area judicial concern & uncertainty about how far Mr Friend will go & how disruptive can be allowed the interactions onsite . . .

In an ironically outcome numbered 666, ONCA Ontario's Court of Appeal rejects appeal against section 134 judicial injunction for longtime kvetching etc dating back to 2011 & various judicial events.

The appellant Mr Friend's form of kvetching in Ottawa was apparently a "dangerous enough environment" or vigorous enough to trigger section 117 "Dangerous Activities" to gag it ( Section not even yet widened to nuisance by pending amendments ).

Better NOT make one's Ottawa condo beefings too disrepectful
