Notice from the Tribunal Chair: Communications with the Tribunal

Counsel and parties appearing before the LSBC Tribunal are reminded that requests for an adjournment of a scheduled hearing or an extension of time to comply with a direction or order must be made through a Notice of Motion with supporting materials, in accordance with Practice Directions 5.4 or 12.5 and 7. If the application is made on consent, a draft consent order should be included. When a panel is seized with a matter, a selection of proposed alternative dates must also be provided. The Tribunal Office will no longer forward email requests for adjournments or extensions of time to the panel. Additionally, all parties must be copied on any communications regarding the substance of the proceeding and all such communications should be directed to TribunalRegistry@lsbc.org, rather than individual hearing clerks.

Message from the Tribunal Chair

As we step into 2026, I am honoured to continue to serve as Chair of the Tribunal and work along side you to achieve our core mission : ensuring fair, impartial, and timely resolution of matters brought before us. 

We understand delays in the process can be frustrating- they can erode trust in the process and create unnecessary stress for everyone involved. Although we made improvements to our timelines in 2025 reducing the time between issuing a citation and delivering a final decision will remain a key focus for us in 2026. 

We have been working to develop Practice Guidelines for Indigenous Proceedings and plan to finalize them in the first half of 2026. We will then provide training for all adjudicators on these Guidelines in the fall at our annual education conference. 

Also in 2026 we intend to replace our audio recording technology so that panel members can easily review oral evidence and unofficial transcripts can be made available at a lower cost.

 

Herman Van Ommen, KC Chair, LSBC Tribunal
