What is the test for having an oral hearing in a dispute at the Court of Appeal?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Davison v. Wikjord, 2020 BCCRT 1097 (CanLII):

10. Further, bearing in mind the CRT’s mandate that includes proportionality and a speedy resolution of disputes, I find that an oral hearing is not necessary. In Yas v. Pope, 2018 BCSC 282 at paragraphs 32 to 38, the court recognized that oral hearings are not necessarily required where credibility is in issue. I decided to hear this dispute through written submissions.
