First...tell her not to ignore her council and hope this goes away. It wont.
Second..request a meeting with council (and show up!) Be prepared with a good story that sounds logical.
Third...Get elected to your strata council. What goes on behind closed doors is none of their business.
Fourth....if all else fails talk to a lawyer.
Now as far as signing papers...she did. If they wernt in her disclosure statements presented to her by her lawyer at the time of her signing, the lawyer would be in big trouble. I dont know strata law in Alberta but I understand it fairly well in BC. I had bylaws passed in order to control one person and/or situation knowing if I were challenged in court we would lose the case. Didnt care. If the person showed up to a meeting and we were able to come up with a reasonable solution they never got fined. Not all councils will act the same. But you need to test it first.
I cant imagine any judge would think this fine reasonable.
