What if I dont agree with the Boards decision?
Under the law, a decision of the board is final. However, you have two options if you do not agree with the Board’s decision. Your first option is to request that the Board reconsider its decision. Under the law, the Board may, at its discretion, reconsider its own decision. Generally, the Board will only agree to reconsider a decision if you can provide new evidence that was not available to you before the hearing. The new evidence must also indicate that the Board’s decision may be wrong or may have been made unfairly. Your second option is to file an application in the Supreme Court of BC for a judicial review of the Board’s decision. If you would like more information about judicial review see the Justice Education Society’s Guide to Administrative Law in BC at www.adminlawbc.ca or talk to a lawyer.
