The Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT; French: Tribunal d’appel en matière de permis) is an independent, quasi-judicial agency in Ontario, Canada.[1] It is one of 13 adjudicative tribunals under the Ministry of the Attorney General that make up Tribunals Ontario.[2]
LAT adjudicates applications and resolves disputes regarding compensation claims and licensing activities regulated by administrative agencies of the provincial government.[3][4]
Current structure
[edit]LAT’s current structure consists of two main divisions: The General Service (GS) and the Automobile Accident Benefits Service (AABS).[5]
The LAT General Service Division
[edit]LAT-GS oversees and resolves appeals and applications involving decisions, proposals or orders from a registrar or regulator regarding:
- motor vehicle impoundments,[8]
- new home construction,[11]
- new home warranty,[12]
- and others.[13]
The LAT Automobile Accident Benefits Service
[edit]The LAT-AABS accepts accident benefit dispute applications and presides over the process under the Insurance Act and the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.[14][15] This jurisdiction was transferred from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (formerly the Financial Services Commission of Ontario) to LAT.[16]
The LAT-AABS is mandated to resolve disputes concerning an insured person’s entitlement to statutory motor vehicle accident benefits. [17]
