Most human rights allegations dismissed at summary hearing; failure to accommodate claim proceeds.
The applicant filed a human rights application on behalf of his three sons against the respondent school board and two individuals, alleging discrimination on various grounds.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application should be dismissed for delay or having no reasonable prospect of success.
The applicant also requested that the adjudicator recuse herself for bias, which was denied as the allegations were unfounded.
The Tribunal dismissed the majority of the allegations, including those related to suspensions, reprisals, and an alleged conspiracy to prevent the sons from enrolling in other schools, finding they had no reasonable prospect of success or were untimely.
Only the allegation that the respondents failed to accommodate one son's disability by not providing home schooling was allowed to proceed to a hearing on the merits.
