Notes of Decisions

Even if declarations filed for purpose of bringing development within condominium law were defective for failure to conform to statutory requirements, development was not vitiated but deficiencies would constitute mistake in transaction thus making instrument eligible for reformation in equity. Dickey v. Barnes, Mossberg, 268 Or 226, 519 P2d 1252 (1974)

Developers of planned unit developments which are not organized as condominiums cannot claim the tax advantages of the Unit Ownership Law. Brooks Resources v. Dept. of Rev., 276 Or 1177, 558 P2d 312 (1976)

Purchasers of condominium units are automatically members of the unit owners association and subject to its declaration and bylaws; where those declarations and bylaws provide discretion to the Board of Directors to assess for fees necessary to create a "unified plan for the development and operation" of the condominium, and the purchaser has alleged no abuse of discretion, the judgment of the Board of Directors is upheld. Assn. of Unit Owners of the Inn of the Seventh Mountain v. Gruenfeld, 277 Or 259, 560 P2d 641 (1977)

Acquisition of property by condominium association is not limited to property subject to annexation requirements. Gier's Liquor v. Association of Unit Owners, 124 Or App 365, 862 P2d 560 (1993)
