REQUEST FOR DEFAULT DECISION AND ORDER
A.MONETARY CLAIMS AND ORDERS
Liability is assumed in default orders. This means you do not need to prove the other party is at fault. If
your claim is for a “debt”, you do not have to provide evidence of the debt or the amount owing. The
CRT does require that you provide evidence for non-debt claims. The differences between the two types
of claims are discussed below.
DEBT CLAIMS
A debt claim is a claim for a specific amount of money that the other party has agreed to pay you. For
example, the other party agreed in a contract to pay you for services or goods. Another example is a strata
corporation claim for fees or fines owed by an owner or tenant. Only include claims that you included in your
application for dispute resolution. Do not add new claims. Do not include CRT fees, dispute-related
expenses, or interest - those amounts are entered in other sections of this form.
•
Do not provide evidence for debt claims.
•
Do not add additional principal amounts that were not owing as of the date of the Dispute Notice.
•
It is your responsibility to make sure the amounts you are claiming are supported by your contract or
agreement.
•
You can’t claim a contractual rate of interest in Section 4 if you did not request it in the Dispute Notice.
NON-DEBT CLAIMS
A non-debt claim is a claim where the exact amount owed has not been determined or agreed to. For example,
the other party damaged your fence, and you are claiming the cost to repair it.
•
Describe each claim and the amount of your non-debt claim..
•
Describe evidence you have to support each claim in the section provided. You must provide a copy of
evidence to support the amount or value of each claim. Please remember to attach an electronic copy of the
evidence when you submit this form.
•
For example, if the other party damaged your fence and you are claiming repair costs, you should provide
receipts that show the amount of money needed to repair your fence. You don’t need to provide evidence to
show that the respondent caused the damage. The other party is assumed to be at fault because they did not
respond to your Dispute Notice.

D.INTEREST
Please enter the interest rate that applies to your claim. Note that interest applies only to monetary orders (debt
and non-debt) and doesn’t apply to non-monetary awards. The interest rate must be specified in your contract or
strata bylaws and claimed in your Dispute notice. If it is not, please refer to the Court Order Interest Act to identify
the applicable interest rate. Do not submit your contract. The CRT will calculate interest from the date of the
Dispute Notice to the date of the Default Order. For more information on Court Order Interest please see:
http://www.courts.gov.bc.ca/supreme_court/about_the_supreme_court/Court_Order_Interest_Rates.aspx
NOTE: If you don’t calculate your interest claim correctly, or tick the box below to waive your claim, the CRT will
return your form. There will be a delay in getting your default decision and order from the CRT.

the

interest.

Columbia a validated copy of this Order. Once filed, a tribunal order has the same
force and effect as an order of the Provincial Court of British Columbia.
