The ramifications of the attorney general’s second loss in B.C. Supreme Court, by way of a decision released Tuesday, make for some new questions about how vehicle crash cases in B.C. will be handled.
In the immediate fallout, B.C.’s Civil Resolution Tribunal said Wednesday it is putting 110 cases on “pause” following the court’s finding that it doesn’t have the constitutional authority to hear them.
The “pause for now” will also apply to all “minor” injury ICBC damage claims still being processed going back to April 2019. The Civil Resolution Tribunal reported 125 such cases in its first annual report, and that caseload was growing.
