Article 1127

In all cases where an apartment owner needs the cooperation or the consent of one or more other apartment owners, of the association of owners or of its organs in order to perform a certain act in respect of the portions which are not intended to be used as separate units and, in the event of a stipulation as referred to in the foregoing articles, in respect of the portions which are intended to be used as separate units, that cooperation or consent can, upon the request of the person who needs it, be replaced by an authorization of the competent Court in whose jurisdiction the building, or the larger part of it, is situated. The foregoing also applies to cases where the association or its organs need the consent of one or more apartment owners in order to perform such an act. The authorization may be granted if the cooperation or consent is refused without reasonable grounds, or the person who must give it remains silent.

Where the act involves expenses, the competent Court may also determine, upon the request of an apartment owner or the association of owners, the proportion in which all or certain apartment owners or the association of owners must contribute to the expenses.

Where the construction of a new work or a new installation is concerned, the competent Court may, upon request, also make rules providing that the apartment owners of all or certain apartment rights will in the future bear the costs of maintenance of the work or installation, and in which proportion each of them shall bear it.
