I see a lot of stuff like that in civil litigation in David v. Goliath situations. Usually the large entity puts in little effort and relies on the fact that its (much more expensive) lawyers generally have more sway with the court (judge), are more persuasive even when their arguments are nonsense, and can just drag cases on for years until the smaller party is burned out.

One nice touch about BC's CRT is that neither side is allowed to be represented by lawyers without specific approval by the tribunal.

  That's interesting. What does that mean in practice, do they send people that have a lot of legal training and experience, but aren't bar members?

    Honestly not sure, but with only $800 at risk I can't imagine them even sending a paralegal.
