It is well known that disputes often arise between unit owners and their condominium association and that these disputes frequently lead to litigation. As John J. D’Attomo notes in his July Illinois Bar Journal article, “Condo Officers and Directors Beware,” Illinois law permits unit owners to assert claims against various potential defendants, including the condominium association and the board of the condominium association. Although often overlooked or misunderstood, D’Attomo shows how unit owners may also assert claims against the officers of the association in their individual capacity and board members in their individual capacity. A unit owner armed with this knowledge, D’Attomo suggests, may achieve significant legal and practical advantages in litigation.
