The applicants, two students represented by their parents, filed human rights applications alleging discrimination by the respondent school principal based on ancestry, ethnic origin, place of origin, race, and reprisal.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine whether the applications had no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found that the applicants had raised sufficient allegations, including that the father was stereotyped as volatile and angry, to warrant a full hearing.
The request to dismiss the applications was denied, and the parties were directed to provide submissions on consolidating the two applications.
