CRT Default Decision and Order The applicant(s) applied for strata property dispute resolution with the Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) and requested a default decision and order of the CRT. The following is the CRTs default Decision and Order. CRT DECISION 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 CRT. 2. Having reviewed the evidence, I am satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the respondent(s) received the Dispute Notice and did not respond to it by the deadline set out in the CRTs rules. This means the respondent(s) are in default, as defined in section 1(1)(a) of the Civil Resolution Tribunal Act (CRTA). Jurisdiction: 3. The CRTs strata property jurisdiction is set out in section 121 of the CRTA. The applicable CRT rules are those in place at the time the Dispute Notice was issued. 4. In a default decision such as this one, the CRT will make a binding decision without the participation of the respondent(s). The CRT will send the parties a copy of the final decision and order. 5. Under the CRTA and the CRTs rules, in resolving this dispute the CRT may order a party to do or stop doing something, pay money or make an order that includes any terms or conditions the CRT considers appropriate.
Decision: 6. Liability is assumed in default decisions. Since the respondent is in default, I find in favour of the applicant. 7. In accordance with the CRTA and the CRTs rules, I find the respondent(s) must pay the applicant(s) the monetary amounts as set out in the preceding pages. This amount is payable immediately. 8. I find the applicant(s) is entitled to any applicable post-judgment interest, which is not included as part of the total order amount. 9. I also find the respondent must take immediate steps to have the telephone line servicing the applicants strata lot (190) repaired. CRT ORDER 10.In accordance with the CRTA and the CRTs rules, I order the respondent(s) to immediately pay the applicant(s) the monetary orders set out in the preceding pages. The applicant(s) is also entitled to post-judgment interest, as applicable. 11. I also order the respondent to take immediate steps to have the telephone line servicing the applicants strata lot (190) repaired. 12.Under section 57 of the CRTA, a validated copy of the CRTs order can be enforced through the British Columbia Supreme Court. Under section 58 of the CRTA, the order can be enforced through the British Columbia Provincial Court if it is an order for financial compensation or return of personal property under $35,000. Once filed, a CRT order has the same force and effect as an order of the court that it is filed in. J. Garth Cambrey, Vice Chair
