The court held that s.16 BMO does not, by itself, make an owners' corporation liable for management expenses incurred before its incorporation; absent express statutory provision or an act by the corporation assuming pre-existing debts, the incorporated owners are not liable to reimburse the plaintiff for expenses incurred prior to incorporation; the reasoning in Koo Sun Yiu is persuasive and applicable.
