The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability.
The respondents failed to file a Response, leading the Tribunal to issue an interim decision deeming them to have waived their rights to participate.
The respondents subsequently filed a Request for an Order During Proceedings to set aside the previous order and grant an extension of time to file a Response, citing administrative errors and misdirected mail.
The Tribunal found the respondents provided a satisfactory explanation for their failure to respond and, in the interests of fairness, granted the request, allowing them 30 days to file a Response.
