Starting with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Consent and Capacity Board (CCB) and Ontario Review Board (ORB) hearings moved to electronic hearings. Electronic hearings may work for some service users, but certainly not all.
Tribunals have great power to control the lives of people with disabilities, Black and Indigenous people, queer, trans and two-spirited people and other oppressed communities. Because of the power difference, tribunal hearings can result in human rights issues. Providing information about electronic hearings can support and respect the rights of people involved in tribunal hearings.
This resource provides legal information for people who may be involved with Ontario Review Board or the Consent and Capacity Board electronic hearings. The materials are free and can be shared. This resource is not legal advice.
