What is the appropriate format of a Civil Procedure Review Tribunal hearing?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from 0955824 BC Ltd. dba Van Pro Disposal v. Sea to Sky Furniture Inc., 2020 BCCRT 1078 (CanLII):

5. The CRT has discretion to decide the format of the hearing, including by writing, telephone, videoconferencing, email, or a combination of these. In some respects, both parties to this dispute call into question the credibility, or truthfulness, of the other. In the circumstances of this dispute, I find that I am properly able to assess and weigh the evidence and submissions before me. I note the decision in Yas v. Pope, 2018 BCSC 282, in which the court recognized that oral hearings are not necessarily required where credibility is in issue. Bearing in mind the CRT’s mandate, which includes proportionality and the speedy resolution of disputes, I decided to hear this dispute through written submissions.
