The applicant filed a human rights application alleging his teaching certificate was revoked in the 1960s due to discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss because the application was filed decades after the alleged events.
The applicant argued the delay was justified because he had pursued remedies through other agencies, including the Ombudsman and the courts, eventually regaining his certificate in 1989.
The Tribunal found that pursuing other avenues of redress does not, on its own, justify a delay in filing a human rights application.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant failed to establish that the delay was incurred in good faith under section 34(2) of the Human Rights Code and dismissed the application for lack of jurisdiction.
