In an interim decision concerning two consolidated human rights applications, the Tribunal addressed several procedural issues.
The Tribunal granted the respondents' request, on consent, to remove four individually-named respondents from the first application to avoid unnecessary naming of personal respondents.
The Tribunal also directed one individual respondent, who had failed to file a response and whose mail was returned, to update his contact information and file a response within two weeks, warning of consequences under Rule 5.5.
Finally, the Tribunal directed another individual respondent to file a full response, rejecting his request for dismissal based on a parallel civil claim, as the civil claim was for defamation rather than a human rights violation.
