Is it problematic to force an unwilling applicant to pursue a dispute with the CRT?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Cox v. Etheridge Home Renovation Ltd., 2022 BCCRT 69 (CanLII):
24. Although not binding on me, I agree with and apply the CRT Chair’s reasoning in Grand-Clement v. The Owners, Strata Plan KAS 2467, 2017 BCCRT 45, that it is problematic to force an unwilling applicant to pursue a dispute with the CRT. I agree that to do so would go against the CRT’s mandate and impair the fairness of the process by creating an imbalance in the CRT’s fact finding and decision-making functions.
