The CRT is an independent administrative tribunal, authorized by the Civil Resolution Tribunal Act to adjudicate on minor injury determination, among other matters. The CRT process does not involve legal representation, and use of the CRT to resolve these disputes is meant to cut legal costs for all parties, although certain parties who require assistance can apply to have a helper or advocate to assist them in the tribunal process. For more details on the CRT, see Chapter 20 of the LSLAP Manual on the CRT and its procedures: https://www.lslap.bc.ca/manual.html | The CRT is an independent administrative tribunal, authorized by the Civil Resolution Tribunal Act to adjudicate on minor injury determination, among other matters.

'''Note:''' As of June 2022, the BC Court of Appeal has upheld the CRT’s authority to adjudicate on minor injury determinations as being constitutional (''Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia v. British Columbia (Attorney General)'', 2022 BCCA 163 (CanLII)). This case may ultimately be brought before the Supreme Court of Canada in the future, but as of now the CRT has jurisdiction on minor injury determinations below $50,000. | |||
