Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Condominium Law
(Modified upon denial of rehearing.) Condominium unit owner sued condominium association and board of directors. Section 19 of Condominium Act is mandatory on subject of attorney's fees. Act is a fee-shifting statute which clearly states that attorney fees shall be awarded if party prevails against condominium board in enforcement action. Court should consider what fees Plaintiff incurred relating to the one count on which she prevailed, requiring association to produce minutes of its meetings for certain time periods. Board members did not breach fiduciary duty to unit owners in concluding, in reliance on legal advice, that Board did not have authority to pay for repairs sought. (GARCIA and PALMER, concurring.)
