Tribunal Watch Survey: Summary of Responses to the Survey Regarding the Landlord and Tenant Board of Ontario
Tribunal Watch Ontario is a public interest organization with a mission to monitor Ontario’s judicial tribunal system, advocate for adjudicative independence, and promote access to justice. We monitor new appointments to ensure that candidates are selected following a competitive process and advocate for appointment and reappointment processes that are inclusive, transparent, merit-based, and free from political influence. We also advocate for dispute resolution processes that are fair, expert, timely and accessible.
To fulfil our mandate Tribunal Watch Ontario circulated a brief survey to users of Ontario’s tribunals. In soliciting responses, Tribunal Watch wrote: [We are] interested in your experience with Ontario’s adjudicative tribunals. The following survey was designed for persons – lawyers and others – advocating on behalf of clients in disputes requiring resolution by an Ontario adjudicative tribunal during the period from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2021. We have chosen this time period because it will allow us to compare the survey results with the data reported by the tribunal in its annual reports for the two fiscal years.
The results of the survey will be made available to all interested parties.
