The complainant, a minor at the time of the events, brought a motion for a publication ban on his name.
The complainant alleged discrimination and reprisal by the school board and police services following an incident on school property that led to his expulsion and criminal charges.
Because the complainant was charged as a minor, the Youth Criminal Justice Act applied, which prohibits publishing the name of a young person dealt with under the Act.
The Tribunal granted a temporary publication ban on the complainant's name, noting the principles underlying the legislation, to remain in effect until mediation or further submissions.
