Question: What is the primary implication for a strata corporation if a court orders the appointment of an administrator?

Answer options:

• The strata council can appeal the decision to BCFSA.
• The strata corporation's bylaws are immediately suspended. ✅ The administrator assumes all duties and powers of the strata council and owners, acting in the best interest of the corporation.
• All owners automatically lose their voting rights.

Correct answer: The administrator assumes all duties and powers of the strata council and owners, acting in the best interest of the corporation.

Explanation: Under Section 174 of the Strata Property Act, if a court appoints an administrator, that administrator essentially replaces the strata council and can exercise all the powers and duties of the strata corporation, including those of owners, until their appointment ends.
