The Commission and the Complainant brought a motion to add Rittal GmbH & Co. KG as a party respondent to a human rights complaint alleging age discrimination in a hiring decision.
The Tribunal applied the two-part test for adding a respondent and found sufficient facts alleged to support a finding that Rittal could be liable for the actions of its directors.
The motion to add Rittal was granted.
The Tribunal also addressed the Respondents' requests for further disclosure from the Complainant, ordering disclosure of information related to the Complainant's consulting services and potential overlapping damages in separate litigation, but denying requests for irrelevant prior employment records.
The Respondents' request to adjourn the hearing was denied.
