Welcome to the Civil Resolution Tribunal

Changes are coming to the CRT’s motor vehicle injury (MVI) jurisdiction next year, beginning May 1, 2021. More information in our blog post.

 

The British Columbia Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) is Canada’s first online tribunal. The CRT resolves:

Motor vehicle injury disputes up to $50,000

Small claims disputes up to $5,000

Strata property (condominium) disputes of any amount

Societies and cooperative associations disputes of any amount

 

Save time, money and stress! The CRT lets you resolve your dispute when and where it’s convenient for you. This could be at home, at work, on your phone, or at the local library.

The CRT helps you resolve your dispute quickly and affordably. We encourage a collaborative approach to dispute resolution.

How it works

EXPLORE AND APPLY

Start with our Solution Explorer. It has free legal information and tools. It will also give you the right CRT application form for your type of dispute.

NEGOTIATE

Once your application is accepted, try our secure and confidential negotiation platform. You can talk through your dispute and try to reach an agreement.

REACH AN AGREEMENT

If you can’t resolve your dispute by negotiation, a case manager will try to help you reach an agreement. Agreements can be turned into orders, and be enforced like a court order.

GET A DECISION

If you can’t reach an agreement by negotiation or facilitation, an independent CRT member will make a decision about your dispute. A CRT decision can be enforced like a court order.
