Difference between revisions of "BC Civil Rights Protection Act (6:V)"

The Ministry of the Attorney General of British Columbia administers the ''Civil Rights Protection Act'' (CRPA), which defines prohibited acts and civil remedies or damages that may be available for victims of such acts. The types of actions and remedies available under the CRPA may not be suitable for all complainants, as the prohibited acts are tortious in nature and such cases are often heard in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Usually the HRC or CHRA, whichever applies, will provide more useful protection for complainants who have suffered discrimination.
