Does the BC SPCA need to have an oral hearing?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Tulk v. Zandy, 2019 BCCRT 390 (CanLII):
7. 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.
