Human rights application dismissed for being filed outside the one-year limitation period without reasonable explanation.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination based on race and place of origin after the police and Crown declined to pursue criminal charges against his former business partner.
The respondents sought to dismiss the application at a preliminary hearing on the basis of timeliness.
The Tribunal found that the application was filed well beyond the one-year limitation period under section 34(1) of the Human Rights Code.
The applicant's explanation that he was exhausting other avenues of redress was not a sufficient good faith reason to extend the time for filing.
The application was dismissed.
