Minutes displayed by the management corporation that impute wrongdoing to the plaintiff were defamatory when read by a reasonable reader; statutory obligation to prepare and display minutes does not confer absolute privilege or justification for defamatory content — the committee remains responsible for content and must ensure no defamatory statements are published; defendants failed to establish a valid defence of privilege or fair comment and plaintiff discharged the burden to establish defamation; accordingly judgment entered for plaintiff with specified remedies.
