A “remedy” is what you ask the CRT to order, to resolve the claim. For example:
- I want Sonia Singh to pay me $1,250 to repair my fence.
- I want 123 Painting Ltd to return the $2,500 I paid for a poorly done painting job.
- I want the strata corporation to remove noise bylaw fines from my strata account.
- I want ICBC to reimburse me $650 for physiotherapy treatments.
- I want ICBC to reimburse me for my deductible because I wasn’t responsible for the accident.
- I want the society to show me its financial records.
- I want my housing co-operative to put me on a waitlist for a larger unit.
What can the CRT order?
What the CRT can order depends on the type of claim. For example, the CRT may have authority to order someone to:
- Pay money for something, including interest
- Do something, or stop doing something such as in strata, society, and cooperative association claims
- Order ICBC to change its decision about who is responsible for a motor vehicle accident or pay for accident benefits
- Delete, de-index, and/or remove an intimate image from a website or social media platform
- Pay the other side’s CRT fees and/or expenses related to the claim

How many remedies can I ask for?
You must include at least one remedy for each claim. But you can have more than one remedy per claim.
Can you help me write remedies?
The CRT can’t help you write remedies.
