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.
