Under the ''Civil Resolution Tribunal Act'', section 58.1, a CRT order may be enforced by filing it in the BC Provincial Court. This can be done if a party has either a consent resolution order, or a final decision. The BC Provincial Court must be provided with a validated copy of the order. A validated copy of a CRT order is sent with the CRT decision. | Under the ''Civil Resolution Tribunal Act'', section 58.1, a CRT order may be enforced by filing it in the BC Provincial Court. This can be done if a party has either a consent resolution order, or a final decision. The BC Provincial Court must be provided with a validated copy of the order. A validated copy of a CRT order is sent with the CRT decision. Once a small claims order is received, it can be filed immediately. Effective from July 1st, 2022, the BC government amended the CRTA to remove a previously existing process for parties to dispute the decision by making a Notice of Objection. As such, the only remaining option to appeal CRT decisions now is through application for judicial review. | ||
When a CRT order is filed with the BC Provincial Court, it has the same force and effect as if it were a judgment of the BC Provincial Court. The enforcement procedures are within the Court’s jurisdiction. That is, the CRT has no powers of enforcement for its own orders, or for orders from other tribunals such as the Residential Tenancy Branch. | When a CRT order is filed with the BC Provincial Court, it has the same force and effect as if it were a judgment of the BC Provincial Court.
