What is the CRT format of a personal injury hearing?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Project X Slab Inc. v. Khera, 2020 BCCRT 810 (CanLII):

5. The CRT has discretion to decide the format of the hearing, including by writing, telephone, videoconferencing, or a combination of these. While the parties made some conflicting statements, I find I am properly able to assess and weigh the documentary evidence and submissions before me without an oral hearing. In Yas v. Pope, 2018 BCSC 282, the court recognized that oral hearings are not always necessary, even where credibility is at issue. Further, bearing in mind the CRT’s mandate of proportional and speedy dispute resolution, I decided I can fairly hear this dispute through written submissions.
