What is the test for having to have an oral hearing at the BC Human Rights Tribunal?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Dame v. Riverside Banquet Halls Ltd., 2019 BCCRT 434 (CanLII):
8. Further, bearing in mind the tribunal’s mandate that includes proportionality and a speedy resolution of disputes, I find that an oral hearing is not necessary. I also note the decision Yas v. Pope, 2018 BCSC 282 at paragraphs 32 to 38, in which the court recognized that oral hearings are not necessarily required where credibility is in issue. I decided to hear this dispute through written submissions.
