The RTB Rules of Procedure state that, to the extent that it is possible, an applicant must submit their evidence with their application and serve a copy of that evidence when they serve the Notice of Hearing. However, if this is not possible, the RTB and the respondent must receive a copy of all the applicant’s evidence no less than 14 days prior to the hearing; the respondent’s evidence must be received by the RTB and the applicant no less than 7 days prior to the hearing. However, arbitrators have the authority to extend the time limit to serve the Notice Package if they find that the Package was sufficiently served for the Act on a later date. Evidence can be submitted online, in person or by mail or fax. | The RTB Rules of Procedure state that, to the extent that it is possible, an applicant must submit their evidence with their application and serve a copy of that evidence when they serve the Notice of Hearing.

A party must submit digital evidence together with an accompanying description and comply with 3.10.1 of the RTB Rules of Procedure. Parties who serve digital evidence on other parties must provide the information required under Rule 3.10.1 using Digital Evidence Details (form RTB-43) and in a manner that is accessible to the other party. Parties should always confirm that the other party and the RTB have gained access to the digital evidence before the hearing. No additional evidence may be submitted after the dispute resolution hearing starts except as directed by the arbitrator. | ::A party must submit digital evidence together with an accompanying description and comply with 3.10.1 of the RTB Rules of Procedure.
