Leave to appeal to a regional special education tribunal granted due to potential breaches of natural justice.
The appellants applied to the Ontario Special Education (English) Tribunal for leave to appeal to a regional tribunal regarding the placement of their child as an exceptional pupil by the respondent school board.
The Tribunal granted leave to appeal, finding that there may have been a fundamental breach of natural justice in the procedures of the original Identification, Placement and Review Committee, including delays in informing the parents and a lack of information on how decisions were made.
The Tribunal also noted that the child may have extensive special needs that should be adduced at a full hearing.
