Legal mortgage: Can the syndicate recoup the costs?
The Syndicate claims $7901.41 from one of the co-owners of the building. The syndicate asks that the co-owner should be ordered to repay that amount to it, amount which represents the fees and extrajudicial costs of its lawyers. The syndicate has incurred these expenditures in its efforts to recover the regular condo expenses and a special contribution unpaid by the co-owner. The syndicate has issued a legal mortgage against the fraction of the co-owner and has served a notice of exercise of its right.
For his part, the co-owner defended himself, and said that he owed nothing to the syndicate because of Section 2762, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code of Québec.
