An improper water pipe: the current co-owner is liable for damage, and the former co-owner as well!
In a recent judgement from the Quebec Court, Small Claims Division¹, a co-owner was sentenced by the Court to pay damages with interest to the syndicate of co-ownership for damages caused by an improper water pipe. The co-owner alleges that it was not he who had installed this improper pipe but rather the one he bought the condo from. Sued for collateral by the current co-owner the former co-owner was ordered to pay damages plus interest in the same amount to the current co-owner. However, the current co-owner sues the syndicate to obtain reimbursement of his legal costs and compensation for loss of time, discomfort and inconvenience.
