Resolution for Debate Resolution 1 Resolution 2 Resolution 3 Resolution 4 Resolution 5 Resolution 6

RESOLUTION #1 A tribunal should limit how many cases it resolves without a hearing, because the ADR or mediation process is hidden from public scrutiny and it fails to contribute to the jurisprudence or predictability of the tribunal’s work.

Resolution Selection Home

RESOLUTION #2 The principles of natural justice – as interpreted by the courts – impose undue restrictions on tribunals because tribunals need to be more creative and proactive in managing their case processes and their hearings.

Resolution Selection Home

RESOLUTION #3 The adjudicative independence of tribunal members means that any proper performance appraisal of members will be ineffective and cursory in nature.

Resolution Selection Home

RESOLUTION #4 Members of adjudicative tribunals should be administrative law judges with full security of tenure for life – like the Tribunal administratif du Québec (TAQ) – rather than be appointed for limited terms as in Ontario.

Resolution Selection Home

RESOLUTION #5 Tribunals are running out of excuses about why they are stuck in the analogue world, and they must do much more to harness digital resources to advance public interest and access, including e-filing, live streaming of hearings and online dispute resolution.

Resolution Selection Home

RESOLUTION #6 Tribunals talk a good talk about increasing access to justice for disadvantaged users and unrepresented parties, but they can do much more with their existing resources.
