The BC Supreme Court in Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia v. British Columbia (Attorney General) declared unconstitutional the CRT’s purported exclusive jurisdiction to resolve “minor injury claims” and specialized expertise to resolve damage claims at $50,000 or less. However, the CRT still has exclusive jurisdiction to determine entitlement to Part 7 benefit claims for motor vehicle accidents on and after April 1, 2019. The earliest limitation for these claims is April 1, 2021, and there is no suspension of limitation periods for CRT claims. Note that the limitation period for Part 7 claims is suspended indefinitely if you provide written notice to ICBC in compliance with s. 103 of the Insurance Vehicle Regulation, as long as ICBC has not issued a written response.
