What an Ontario tribunal is

This page is a public educational walkthrough. It is not a retainer, a court form, or a promise about your result.

1. A tribunal is created by statute to decide a class of disputes

   It is not a private mediator.

2. Its power is only as wide as the statute

   That is why the creating Act matters.

3. Procedure often comes from its rules plus SPPA ideas

   Open Administrative & Tribunal Law.

4. Appeals may go to Divisional Court or a statutory review

   The statute says which.
