Tomorrow join Polina Furtula (WESTPOINT LAW GROUP) and Elaine McCormack (WILSON McCORMACK LAW GROUP) for a discussion on various options for dispute resolution.

Since the Civil Resolution Tribunal (“CRT”) opened its doors almost a decade ago to decide many different types of strata complaints, much of the strata management education has been focused on the CRT. However, the CRT does not handle all disputes that a strata corporation may have, nor should it necessarily be the venue chosen even when it can hear a matter.

Join Polina and Elaine in a discussion on various disputes and where they can be addressed. We’ll discuss the various disputes that mediation and arbitration can be used to resolve, including those involving cost sharing agreements, easement agreements, construction matters, home warranty claims and so on. We’ll also discuss the role of the Small Claims Court, the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Human Rights Tribunal.

There will also be discussion on common provisions in settlement agreements that do not always work well for strata corporations.
