Public Access to Social Benefits Tribunal Decisions

SBT is undertaking an initiative to make the majority of its decisions available to the public by posting them on the Canadian Legal Information Institute (CanLII) website, as is done by other SJTO tribunals. Can LII is a non-profit organization that seeks to make Canadian Law accessible for free on the Internet. SBT will be added to the CanLII site as part of the Ontario database under Boards and Tribunals. We anticipate that the first decisions will begin to appear on CanLII toward the end of 2012.

Publication of Tribunal decisions will occur after the decision has been issued to the parties and following the removal of personal information. All proceedings before the Tribunal are private and the Tribunal will ensure that decisions are anonymized before they are forwarded for publication.
