Tribunal denies requests to add respondent and anonymize application, but allows adding sex as discrimination ground.
The applicant in a human rights proceeding requested to add Renfrew County Ontario Works as a respondent, add sex as a ground of discrimination, anonymize the application, and requested accommodation.
The Tribunal denied the request to add the respondent because the applicant had already commenced a separate application against them.
The request to add sex as a ground was granted.
The request for anonymization was denied as the applicant did not establish exceptional circumstances outweighing the public interest in open justice.
The accommodation request was deferred pending specific requests.
