Legislation

What legislation will I need?

To help understand and manage your CRT dispute, you may need to look at the Civil Resolution Tribunal Act, the Strata Property Act, or the Small Claims Act. All of BC’s laws can be found on the BC Laws website.

Amendments to the Civil Resolution Tribunal Act were brought into force on January 1, 2019. The Queen’s Printer publishes official versions of BC legislation on the BC Laws website. There may be a delay before the BC Laws website shows the January 1 amendments.
