Accommodations
We want to make sure you can fully participate in the hearing process, and that it is accessible for all participants (including parties, witnesses and lawyers).
An accommodation is an arrangement to remove a barrier so you can participate fully in your hearing. We’ll accommodate your needs related to a disability or any of the other grounds set out in the Canadian Human Rights Act. We want to remove barriers so everyone has equal access to our services.
Anyone who requires accommodation should notify the Registry by email as early as possible.
Kinds of Accommodations
Examples of accommodations at your hearing you can request:
- An interpreter, if French or English isn’t your first language;
- Breaks during the oral hearing;
- Participants speak loudly or slowly; or
- More time to answer questions.
In addition, we can help you:
- Set up your technology for your hearing; and
- Access information and publications on the CART website (plus recordings or transcripts of hearings).
We do our best to communicate clearly. That said, if you have questions about anything we send you, please contact us.
If we can’t arrange what you ask for, we’ll let you know as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to offer you something else that will still work for you.
