If all the participants in a claim agree to withdraw it, we can put this into an order that’s enforceable in court. This is called a “consent dismissal order”.

In this order, the participants agree:

• To dismiss the claims, without disclosing any settlement terms
• That no further action can be taken on the claim and it will be closed
• That none of the participants can file a new claim at the CRT or another tribunal or court about the same issues

How do I ask for a consent dismissal order?

Contact your CRT case manager. If a case manager hasn’t been assigned to your claim yet, contact us. You can request this any time before a tribunal member makes a final decision about the claims.

What if the consent dismissal order involves a minor?

There are special rules if a person is requesting a consent dismissal of a personal injury claim, acting on behalf of a minor (under 19) or an adult with impaired mental capacity. See the CRT Rules to learn more.

How do I enforce a consent dismissal order?

To enforce a CRT order, you must file a copy of the validated order in court. The courts may have filing deadlines and charge filing fees.

When you file a CRT order with the court, the order has the same force and effect as if it were a judgment of that court.

The CRT can’t enforce a consent dismissal order for you, or help you file with a court for enforcement. Learn more about enforcing a CRT order.
