The applicant has applied for small claims dispute resolution with the Civil Resolution Tribunal (tribunal) and has requested a default decision and order of the tribunal. The following default decision was made by tribunal chair Shannon Salter. Proof of Notice: 1. A respondent must respond to a Dispute Notice within 14 days of receiving the Dispute Notice, as indicated on the Dispute Response Form or as permitted by the tribunal. 2. Having reviewed the evidence, I am satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the respondent received the Dispute Notice and did not respond to it by the deadline set out in the tribunal’s rules. Jurisdiction: 3. The tribunal’s jurisdiction is set out under sections 3.1 and 3.6 of the Civil Resolution Tribunal Act (Act). The applicable tribunal rules are those in place at the time the Dispute Notice is issued. 4. The tribunal will make a binding decision without the respondents’ participation. The tribunal will send the parties a copy of the final decision and order. 5. Under the Act and the tribunal’s rules, in resolving this dispute the tribunal may make one or more of the following orders: a. Order a party to do something b. Order a party to refrain from doing something c. Order a party to pay money Decision: 6. In accordance with the Act and the tribunal’s rules, I order the respondent to pay the applicant the monetary orders as set out in the preceeding pages. This is amount is payable immediately.

7. The applicant is entitled to any applicable post-judgment interest, which is not included as part of the “total order” amount. 8. Under the Act, this decision is not enforceable without a validated copy of the associated Order. The tribunal cannot provide a copy of the Order until the time period for filing a Notice of Objection has expired, which is 28 days after the parties have received it and only if a Notice of Objection has not been filed. Accordingly, the tribunal will hold the associated Order until 40 days after the date of the decision and will only provide it if a Notice of Objection has not been filed. _________________________________ Shannon Salter, Chair 2
