Rules of Practice and Procedure
The BC Farm Industry Review Board (BCFIRB) has recently developed Rules of Practice and Procedure for Appeals filed under the Natural Products Marketing (BC) Act.
The purpose of these rules is to facilitate and encourage clear, consistent and efficient practices concerning appeals so that all parties understand the process along with their rights and responsibilities. In most respects, these rules reflect practices adopted by BCFIRB over the many years and are consistent with the approach of various tribunals following the introduction of the Administrative Tribunals Act.
These rules are effective as of January 16, 2008. Persons involved in an appeal must proceed on the basis that these rules apply unless BCFIRB directs otherwise. To view the Rules, click here (PDF, 215KB).
Please note that the updated Notice of Appeal form (Appendix 1) will be developed as an online form in the near future. Until then you still have the option of using the old form on this website on the webpage Filing an Appeal or by clicking here.
