Court entered judgment in favor of condo association, and found that agreement with a third-party management company was void because its terms exceeded condo association board's authority. Agent/fiduciary of board should have been aware of the contract limitations in bylaws but was not.  Provision in the condo association bylaws, limiting the board to entering into contracts for no more than 24 months, rendered contract with property management company for 36 months void.  (McBRIDE and HOWSE, concurring.)
