The applicant filed a human rights application, and the respondent failed to file a Response over a seven-month period, resulting in a default finding.
The respondent sought to participate, citing the extenuating personal circumstances of its former paralegal and subsequent confusion.
The Tribunal found the respondent's explanation lacking in particulars and ordered the respondent to provide sworn statements detailing the reasons for its non-compliance, to be followed by an in-person hearing for cross-examination.
