What does judicial review involve in relation to CRT strata decisions?

Judicial review in the context of CRT (Civil Resolution Tribunal) strata decisions specifically involves the BC Supreme Court. This process allows parties to challenge decisions made by the CRT, which is an administrative tribunal. The role of the BC Supreme Court in this context is to assess whether the CRT made its decisions within the bounds of the law, ensuring that the tribunal acted reasonably and followed correct legal procedures.

During judicial review, the court evaluates the legality of the decision rather than revisiting the merits of the case itself. This includes examining whether the tribunal had the jurisdiction to make the decision, whether the decision was made in accordance with established laws and principles of natural justice, and whether there were any significant procedural errors.

The other options refer to bodies that do not have jurisdiction over CRT decisions. A local tribunal would not have the authority to review its own decisions, the provincial legislature is involved in law-making rather than reviewing specific tribunal decisions, and a community board does not possess the legal capacity to conduct judicial reviews of tribunal decisions. Thus, the BC Supreme Court is the correct forum for conducting a judicial review of CRT strata decisions.
