Supreme Court of Colorado

In Re Anthony T. Accetta, Plaintiff v. Brooks Towers Residences Condominium Association, Inc., a Colorado Nonprofit…

February 11, 2019434 P.3d 600

Summary

The court held that the approximately 500 absent condominium unit owners were not required parties to the plaintiff's declaratory-judgment challenge to an assessment-allocation provision because the condominium association could adequately represent their interests. It therefore made the rule to show cause absolute and vacated the district court's joinder requirement. The court also exercised its original jurisdiction because the issue was novel, publicly significant, and immediate appellate review was inadequate.
