- Am I required to share my documents and information with the Board of Education?
- Yes. The principles of natural justice require that each party to an appeal be provided with all materials submitted by the other parties. This helps to ensure a full and fair hearing. The Student Appeals Branch will coordinate the distribution of these materials.
- Under a section 11.1 appeal, can new information be introduced?
- Yes. A section 11.1 appeal is a new hearing and both parties are entitled to present additional information. That information will be shared with the respondent. If the respondent provides new information, a copy of that information will be provided to the appellant.
- What happens when a party does not provide information to support his or her case?
- Parties to an appeal will be advised to provide relevant information. If the Superintendent of Achievement or the Adjudicator is aware that a piece of information exists that is relevant to the appeal, they may make an order requiring a person to produce documents or attend an oral hearing as a witness. Where necessary these orders may be enforced by order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
