Applicant permitted to amend human rights application to add particulars, reprisal claim, and additional remedies.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability following a layoff.
After retaining counsel, the applicant filed a Request for Order During Proceedings to amend the application to add further particulars, cite a reprisal violation, and request additional monetary relief.
The respondent objected, arguing the request was too late and prejudicial.
The Tribunal granted the request to amend, finding that the additional particulars clarified the factual background, the reprisal allegation related to the original narrative, and the three-month delay after retaining counsel did not cause prejudice to the respondent.
