Consumer and Debt Cases

Most of the cases listed below are reported decisions. The citations are usually from report series that should be readily available at courthouse libraries. British Columbia Law Reports (BCLR), Western Weekly Reports (WWR), and Dominion Law Reports (DLR) contain the full text of cases.  

Decisions made after 1990 can be found on the websites of the individual courts. The website of the Supreme Court of BC and the BC Court of Appeal is www.courts.gov.bc.ca. The website of the Small Claims Court of BC is www.provincialcourt.bc.ca.

Alternatively, the text of cases may be obtained through www.canlii.org (for free) or through Quicklaw (through Courthouse Libraries around the province). In a few instances, cases are noted as unreported (and are, apparently, unavailable from any reporting service).
