CAT decides on documents. YardRule is where the documents already are.
Any owner can bring your corporation before the Condominium Authority Tribunal for $200 in filing fees, and the hearing happens online, in writing. There is no courtroom moment — there is a case file, and the better file usually wins. Boards lose winnable cases every year because the letter was sent but nobody can prove it, the photo exists but nobody can date it, or the file lived in a director’s inbox and the director moved away.
One issue, one file: evidence, letters, delivery, decisions — dated as they happened.
What that file contains when a dispute starts:
Photo evidence attached the day it was captured, with the date on the record — a pattern, not a recollection.
Every compliance letter with its delivery tracked, so “I never received it” meets a delivery record instead of a shrug.
An append-only audit trail: entries are never silently edited, which is exactly what makes a record credible in a written hearing.
A case timeline a stranger can follow in ten minutes — the first thing a Tribunal member wants and the last thing most boards can produce.
