Member expelled for photocopy fees; court finds sanction disproportionate and statute interpretation incorrect.

The court overturned the housing cooperative's board resolution expelling a member for failing to pay photocopy fees. The cooperative argued the member's refusal violated the statute regarding non-performance of essential obligations, while the member contended the fee was not essential. The court ruled that photocopy fees do not constitute essential obligations threatening the cooperative's operation, rendering the expulsion sanction disproportionate and the board's assessment of the statute's scope erroneous.
