Welcome to the Civil Resolution Tribunal

The Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) is Canada’s first online tribunal. The CRT resolves small claims disputes $5,000 and under, and strata property (condominium) disputes of any amount in British Columbia.

On April 1, 2019, the CRT will also start resolving many motor vehicle accident and injury disputes up to $50,000.

Avoid the time, cost, and stress of going to court! The CRT lets you resolve your dispute when and where it’s convenient for you — at home, at work, through your phone, or at the local library.

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

 

 

How it works

GET STARTED

Start with our Solution Explorer. It diagnoses your dispute. Free legal information and tools like customized letter templates can help you resolve your dispute on your own.

APPLY

If you can’t resolve your dispute on your own, you can apply to the CRT for dispute resolution. Apply directly from the Solution Explorer. It will send you to the right 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 by yourselves.

REACH AN AGREEMENT

If you can’t resolve your dispute by negotiation, a facilitator 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. This decision can also be enforced like a court order.
