Document Description
This document reproduces the initial Reply to a Claim dated February 21, 2025, submitted by Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) in proceedings before the Provincial Court of British Columbia, Small Claims Court File No. 30698.
The Reply forms part of the proceedings involving the Claimants, Viktor and Maryna Birkus, the Individualized Funding Resource Centre Society (IFRC), and Community Living British Columbia (CLBC).
The underlying dispute concerns unpaid Home Sharing services provided during the period December 1, 2023, through April 17, 2024, together with questions concerning the administration, funding, and payment responsibilities associated with those services.
The document records CLBC's initial response following the procedural developments that brought CLBC into the proceedings.
Procedural Context
On February 5, 2025, Honourable Judge Raven issued a court order concerning CLBC's addition to the proceedings. That order is preserved separately as Document 023.
On February 10, 2025, the Claimants filed an Amended Notice of Claim identifying both IFRC and CLBC as Defendants. The amended claim is preserved as Document 005.
CLBC's initial Reply dated February 21, 2025, is an important part of the chronological record because it documents the position initially presented by CLBC in response to the proceedings.
A subsequent Further Amended Reply, dated September 3, 2026, is preserved separately as Document 020. That later pleading includes CLBC's acknowledgement concerning the principal amount of CAD 13,106.34 for unpaid Home Sharing services.
Preserving both versions separately allows readers to examine the development of CLBC's pleaded position over the course of the litigation.
The statements and arguments contained in the initial Reply represent CLBC's position at the time of submission and should not be interpreted as judicial findings or conclusions of the Court.
