What kind of information will the CRT collect?
The CRT only asks for information that is needed to resolve a dispute.
The CRT will collect the following types of information, and share it with the parties:
- Contact information for the parties and their representatives, including names, addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses;
- Each party’s description of the dispute and position on its resolution;
- Communications between the parties and the CRT;
- Information and evidence provided by parties, which may include information about damages and injuries, health and financial records, and other information of a personal nature;
- Information about witnesses, including their contact information and evidence they might be called upon to provide.
The CRT might also collect information from a party about special circumstances they have relating to their CRT file, such as capacity issues or ability to pay CRT fees.
This information will not normally be shared with other parties, unless the circumstances require the CRT to do so.
