Introduction:
The case arose from prolonged disputes over a real estate investment project in Vernon, BC. SWS Marketing Inc. sued Odin Zavier, Thane Lanz, and others over breaches of joint venture agreements related to managing and selling 14 strata-titled units.

Background:
The dispute stemmed from a 2010 joint venture where SWS managed the properties, sharing profits and losses with unit purchasers. Relations soured in 2012, leading to competing strata councils and multiple lawsuits. In 2022, Justice Adair ruled that Zavier and others breached agreements but awarded no damages, requiring further hearings on remedies.

Key Legal Issues:

1. Sale of Strata Units: Defendants sought to sell units individually rather than as a group, claiming the current approach hindered resolution. The court held jurisdiction to amend the 2022 order, allowing individual sales but suspended this for 12 months due to rezoning advantages.
2. Compliance with the Residential Tenancy Act (RTA): Defendants alleged SWS violated tenant rights under the RTA. The court varied the prior order, requiring SWS to adhere to statutory notice requirements for tenant access.

Rulings and Costs:
Justice Burke ordered procedural adjustments but did not award damages or costs to either party, emphasizing judicial economy and the need to resolve the prolonged litigation.
