The decision to waive privilege belongs to the Strata Corporation, not to any individual member of Council. Keeping that decision with Council, made by resolution rather than by an individual member acting alone, is what allows a robust and resilient Strata Community to control when, and on what terms, it gives up the protection the law gives it.

The core test for significant unfairness has been stable: conduct is significantly unfair if it is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial and an Owner's reasonable expectations are one relevant factor.

Significantly unfair conduct is not a label for a decision an Owner dislikes. It requires conduct that is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial, weighed against whether the Owner's own reasonable expectations were violated, and the reported pattern, in both the courts and the Civil Resolution Tribunal, applies that standard with real teeth in both directions.

Persuasion still depends on something a chatbot cannot supply on either end: a person who actually reads what is in front of them, checks whether it is true, and is willing to be moved if it is.
