Can the administrator convene the meeting with a simple email? The Court of Cassation, with ordinance no. 16399 of June 18, 2025, clarified that a regular email is inadequate to document the delivery of the notice. The request by the condominium owner to receive communications at that address is not sufficient to validate this method of convening.
How the notice should be delivered
Article 66 of the implementing provisions of the Civil Code provides four methods of communication: registered mail, certified email (PEC), fax, or hand delivery. The notice must be communicated at least five days before the first meeting and must indicate the agenda items, the place, and the time of the meeting. If the meeting is held via videoconference, the platform used must be specified.
What happens if the notice is irregular
If the notice is omitted, arrives late, or is incomplete, the resolution can be annulled. The condominium owner who was absent because they were not properly notified can challenge it. In the case examined by the Court of Cassation, the condominium owner had provided their email address for correspondence but claimed not to have received the notice. The Court overturned the appeal decision and remanded the case for further examination.
