Welcome to the Financial Services Tribunal

The Financial Services Tribunal (FST) is established under the Financial Institutions Act. The FST has the authority to hear and decide appeals of enforcement decisions made by the Insurance Council of British Columbia, the Superintendent of Real Estate, the Superintendent of Pensions, the Registrar of Mortgage Brokers and the Superintendent of Financial Institutions.

This website provides information about the FST and the appeal process. The Appeal Process section provides access to the FST Practice Directives and Guidelines and other resources that may assist you with the appeal process.

The Decisions section provides links to current and past FST decisions. See the FST Decision Publication Policy for information on disclosure of FST proceedings.

We respectfully acknowledge that our office is located on the traditional lands of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) speaking peoples on whose ancestral and unceded territories we offer our services. We recognize that our work extends across the homelands of the Indigenous peoples of what we now call British Columbia.
