 If you don't like the decision, you can apply to review it by completing an '''[http://www.rto.gov.bc.ca/documents/RTB-2.pdf Application for Review Consideration]''' and paying a $25 filing fee. However, there will only be a review if you missed the original hearing, you have new evidence that was not available at the time of the original hearing, or the decision was obtained by fraud. Otherwise, only a Supreme Court judge can review an Arbitrator's decision. You will need advice from a lawyer to do this.
