Kovacs v. ICBC - 2023 BCCRT 449 - 2023-05-30
Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionA passerby called a tow truck and her vehicle was towed home. It is undisputed the vehicle damage was caused by water in the engine. [...] 22. ICBC provided a photograph from the tow truck driver that ICBC says was taken before the driver loaded and towed Ms. Kovacs’ vehicle away from the incident scene.

Dhaliwal v. Gill - 2023 BCCRT 516 - 2023-06-19
Small Claims Decisions - Final DecisionHe says he paid for a tow truck, parts, and repairs by the third parties. As such, he says Mr. Dhaliwal is not entitled to a refund. [...] He says this included $280 for Samco to provide and install an alternator and fix wiring, and $220 for the tow truck. I note this only adds up to $500 and he did not explain the discrepancy. [...] So, I decline to reduce Mr. Dhaliwal’s claim because of incurred towing fees. I considered reducing the claim by a nominal amount, but as I have found Mr. Gill could only charge to fix the fuse or wiring, I also find it unproven that Mr. Gill could reasonably charge to tow the RV in the circumstances.
