Reconsideration request denied; applicant failed to establish cognitive impairment prevented meaningful participation at hearing.
The applicant requested a reconsideration of a Tribunal decision that dismissed her application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability.
She argued that she did not have a fair hearing because her cognitive functionality was impaired due to fatigue on the second day of the hearing.
The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the applicant had actively participated in the hearing, did not request an adjournment for medical reasons, and failed to establish any new evidence or factors outweighing the public interest in the finality of decisions.
