Accessing the decisions
TATC publishes its decisions through Decisia by Lexum. These decisions can be accessed in the “Browse and Search Decisions” section of this website. Here you will be able to browse and search all Tribunals decisions published since 1986.
Description of the decision collection
There are two sorts of decisions rendered by the TATC: TATC Decisions and Medical Decisions.
The TATC Decisions collection contains all public decisions made by the TATC since 1986.
The Medical Decisions collection contains summaries of the decisions made on medical files. All of the documents filed in medical cases, including the decisions made by the Tribunal, are deemed confidential.
To increase access to justice, the TATC is making summaries of these decisions available to the public. These summaries do not contain any personal or confidential information.
Official Languages
TATC posts its decisions in both official languages in accordance with the Official Languages Act. However, because decisions need to be translated and published in both official languages at the same time, there is a delay between when a decision is released to parties and when it is posted on the Tribunal website. All efforts are made to ensure speedy and accurate translations of the decisions. You can request a public decision that is not published yet through our registry team at Registry-Greffe@tatc.gc.ca.
