With the decision, said the Trial Lawyers’ Association of B.C. (TLABC), the court has put a check on the government’s ability to create its own tribunal to decide claims against ICBC. And, the association said, the court has also affirmed the historic right of accident victims to pursue remedies for their injuries before the courts should they wish. Among the plaintiffs was Melissa Rondpre who objected to the online tribunal aspects. “To have a fair process you should get an impartial judge, that evidence should be given, and witnesses should be questioned,” she said. “Submitting information to a tribunal online just because it is quick is an unfair process.”
