The complainant, a student with disabilities, filed a human rights complaint alleging the school board and several individuals failed to accommodate his needs.
In this interim decision, the Tribunal addressed three preliminary issues.
The Tribunal denied the complainant's request to add another teacher as a personal respondent, finding no meaningful procedural or substantive benefit.
The Tribunal also dismissed the respondents' objection to the scope of the Commission's statement of facts, ruling that the new allegations formed part of the continuum of events related to the alleged failure to accommodate.
Finally, the Tribunal granted the complainant's request to file his own statement of facts, issues, and remedy, as the respondents demonstrated no prejudice.
