Become an integral part of B.C.'s legal service

The Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) is an independent, quasi-judicial tribunal that operates under the authority of the Civil Resolution Tribunal Act. The CRT is Canada’s first online tribunal and currently provides end-to-end dispute resolution services in strata property disputes and small claims up to $5,000. The tribunal also has jurisdiction to resolve motor vehicle accident disputes and some disputes involving incorporated societies and cooperative associations. The CRT encourages a collaborative, problem-solving approach to dispute resolution, rather than the traditional courtroom model by providing timely access to legal information, self-help tools, and dispute resolution services to help resolve disputes as early as possible. If parties are unable to resolve their dispute collaboratively, a CRT tribunal member makes a binding decision, enforceable as a court order. The CRT operates under five guiding principles: Timely – resolves disputes as early in the process as possible; Flexible – provides range of dispute resolution options; Accessible – available 24/7/365 and provides free supports and resources; Affordable; and Efficient.
