		<description><![CDATA[Board of Directors in community associations are protected from liability in the course of operating and making decisions by what is known by the “Business Judgment Rule”.  The Business Judgment Rule requires that the Board act within a reasonable manner and take the necessary steps to justify their decisions. If the Board did not use good business practices in their decision and something were to happen or be challenged, it could then be argued that they did not use good judgment. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our last article about water leaks we reviewed exactly who (owner and association) is responsible for what portions of the overall structure, as defined by statute.
