Your guide to resolving disputes through BC’s administrative tribunals and agencies.

What is Admin Law?

The area of law that ensures the government and its agencies deal with people fairly and lawfully is called administrative law.

Early Resolution

The information in this section will help you deal with disputes before they get to the point where a tribunal is required.

Preparing for a Hearing

Every tribunal has their own rules and procedures but there are some basic steps you can take to prepare.

Admin law is all around us

You are far more likely to have a legal issue dealt with by an administrative agency or tribunal than a court. Administrative law impacts many different areas of your daily life, such as when you:

Apply for a passport or license,
Apply for benefits, or
Have a dispute with your landlord or employer.

Administrative law is important because it helps protect our rights and ensures that the government and its administrative organizations act in a fair and just way.
