Types of Tribunals

There are dozens of municipal, provincial and federal tribunals – some resolve disputes between parties and some set standards and regulations for particular industries. In general, we can categorize tribunals by their mandate – that is, what they were established to do:

Adjudicative tribunals resolve disputes between two parties

Some tribunals make decisions about a person’s rights or benefits

Some tribunals hear complaints about professionals

Regulatory tribunals set regulations for the better operation of an industry

Appeal tribunals hear appeals from decisions that were made by a decision maker or other tribunal
