Tribunal resolves preliminary issues including witness exclusion, party removal, and document production in human rights application.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination based on family status and association.
On the first day of the hearing, the Tribunal addressed several preliminary issues.
The Tribunal ordered the exclusion of non-party witnesses but denied requests to exclude children from the hearing room and to impose a publication ban regarding prior settlement minutes.
The Tribunal also removed the individual respondents from the proceeding, finding no compelling reason to keep them as parties.
Finally, the Tribunal ordered both parties to produce requested documents, including the applicant's financial and medical records, and the respondents' statistical information and exclusion letters.
