Background In 2012, the province of Ontario initiated a comprehensive review of the Condominium Act, 1998. The review consisted of an intensive 18-month public engagement process, involving 2,000 submissions and over 200 recommendations. Among other things, the review revealed a need for a new way to resolve condo disputes, and the result of the review was the Protecting Condominium Owners Act, 2015 (PCOA). The PCOA amended the Condominium Act, 1998, by establishing a new administrative authority, the Condominium Authority of Ontario, and a new Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT). The CAT will be primarily an online tribunal, with a system that permits the exchange of documents and messages. It will have the exclusive jurisdiction to hear and to make legally binding and enforceable decisions about certain types of disputes under the Condominium Act, 1998, which will be prescribed by the government in regulations to the act. When the CAT starts later in 2017, the first dispute type will be access to condominium records. Purpose Members appointed to the CAT will be primarily responsible for resolving disputes brought to the tribunal through the CAT’s online dispute resolution platform through both formal (adjudication) and informal (alternative dispute resolution) means. Members must act in accordance with the CAO’s mission, core values, and governance and accountability documents. Members will be appointed to the CAT on a part-time, per diem basis. Additional consideration will be given to applicants who can demonstrate fluency in French (both written and oral). Key Duties Members will work under the general direction and mentorship of the Chair of the CAT, and one or more Vice-Chairs. The CAT is an online tribunal, and requires members to be fully trained and knowledgeable in the law, as well as tribunal procedures and the CAT online dispute resolution system. CAT members will be expected to be actively engaged in the CAT’s online dispute resolution system, and will be expected to check their files at least once a day for messages and tasks, and more often as required by the online processes of any ongoing case. In addition, a Member will be expected to perform the following functions: 1. As an Adjudicator: a. Maintains impartiality and open-mindedness, and ensures adjudicative independence, while managing the dispute resolution process, and making procedural rulings and adjudicative decisions; b. Understands and applies the relevant legislation and case law, and the Tribunal Rules and policies; c.

Reviews and analyzes all evidence and submissions thoroughly, makes findings of fact, and interprets and applies the law; e. Prepares rulings, orders and decisions with reasons that are clear, complete and concise, and follows the decision review and format guidelines. 2. As a Mediator: a. Works collaboratively and creatively with the parties and participants to promote early settlements, in accordance with the Tribunal’s procedures and policies, and with a focus on interest-based solutions that support the ongoing condominium community relationships; b. Understands the relevant legislation and case law, and the Tribunal Rules and policies, which provide the basis for identifying issues and interests; and offers suggestions for possible resolution, in keeping with the merits of the case and the interests of the parties. 3. Has the creativity and flexibility to be part of an innovative new tribunal that pushes the boundaries of conventional tribunal procedures, while guided by the user experience, and the core principles of fairness and impartiality. 4. Recognizes the users’ perspective in the value of predictability in the Tribunal’s approaches to dispute resolution, and promotes consistency through open and collegial communications about ongoing legal and procedural issues. 5. Recognizes the importance of adjudicative excellence, and participates in training and professional development activities, and stays informed about leading case law, tribunal best practices and effective use of the CAT online dispute resolution system as it develops and grows. 6. Works in a respectful and collegial manner with all Tribunal members and staff, and follows the operational and case management policies of the Tribunal and the Condominium Authority of Ontario (CAO). 7.
