Owner reaches settlement in Richmond condo language dispute


Nearly three years after it was filed, a homeowner's human rights complaint about language used at his former condo building's strata meetings has been settled. It marks the end of the dispute between Andreas Kargut and the Wellington Court strata council, which began when the council switched to Mandarin-only meetings. In his initial complaint in 2015, Kargut said Mandarin-only meetings left English-speaking owners cut out of strata discussions. Complaint lodgedOwners of nine other units in the building joined the initial complaint after it was filed in December 2015. Andreas Kargut said the decision to switch to Mandarin-only meetings was a constitutional issue because Canada's official languages are English and French.
