ICBC awards and arbitration decisions

Last revised February 19, 2026

ICBC decisions of awards and arbitrations concerning Insurance (Vehicle) Act, ICBC Commercial Arbitration, and Underinsured Motorist Protection (UMP) Arbitration are kept in each individual's file. ICBC has no central depository for the awards and arbitrations.

UMP arbitration decisions as of 2007

As of June 21, 2007, UMP arbitration decisions are posted on the ICBC website, as required by section 148.2 (2.1) of the Insurance (Vehicle) Regulation  (BC Reg 447/83).

Section 74(b) of BC Reg 166/2006 amended section 148.2 of the Revised Regulation (1984) under the Insurance (Motor Vehicle) Act to add subsection 2.1.

An arbitrator who adjudicates a dispute under this section must publish the reasons for the decision by forwarding a copy of the reasons, with personal information that would identify the parties deleted, to the head librarian at the library of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal at the Courthouse in Vancouver.
 

This came into force on June 1, 2007, but was soon amended as follows:

BC Reg 212/2007 amended section 148.2 (2.1) of the Insurance (Vehicle) Regulation by striking out: 

"to the head librarian at the library of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal at the Courthouse in Vancouver" and substituting "to the corporation for publication on its website.

This came into force on June 21, 2007.

Between June 1 and June 21, 2007 no decisions were deposited with the library.
