This page from JP Boyd on Family Law and others highlighted in orange explain trial procedure and litigation in BC family law. They are under editorial review to provide more thorough, current, and practical guidance. Since 2020, procedures, forms, and laws have changed significantly. While gross inaccuracies have been corrected, some details may still be outdated. These pages were not included in the 2024 print edition. |
Applicants faced with an admission contract should not sign it if they do not understand it. Retaining a lawyer or trained advocate may be appropriate in these circumstances. An admission agreement must not contain clauses that are illegal. The clauses will not be enforceable. People cannot contract out of their human rights and Operators cannot contract out of the legal responsibilities under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act, or other law.
This information applies to British Columbia, Canada. Last reviewed for legal accuracy by BC Centre for Elder Advocacy and Support, June 2014. |
