If a party notices an error in an LTB order, what is the appropriate remedy?

• A. File an appeal to a higher court.
• B. Request that the Board amend the order.
• C. Request a new hearing.
• D. Seek a judicial review.

Answer: (B)

When a mistake appears in an LTB order, the remedy is to have the Board fix it by amending the order. The Board can correct clerical errors or calculation mistakes without the party needing to go through a new hearing. Filing a motion to amend lets you specify the exact correction and keeps the original proceedings intact, which is quicker and more straightforward than starting an appeal or a new hearing.

Appealing to a higher court is for challenging the decision on grounds of law or procedure, not for fixing a simple error in the order. Requesting a new hearing is reserved for reconsideration when there’s new evidence or a significant issue that warrants a fresh proceeding. Judicial review is a court process challenging the legality or fairness of the decision, not a routine correction of an order.
