Requests to add new factual allegations and defer human rights hearing denied due to late stage of proceedings.
The applicant in a human rights proceeding sought to amend his Application to include new factual allegations and remedies, and to defer the hearing pending the outcome of a civil action.
The Tribunal denied the request to add new factual allegations, finding it would prejudice the respondents given the late stage of the proceeding.
The request for certain new remedies was also denied, though the balance of the remedial amendments was permitted.
The Tribunal denied the request to defer, noting the Application was scheduled for hearing within days while the civil action was only at the pleadings stage.
Adjournment request denied due to insufficient medical evidence of extraordinary circumstances.
The applicant requested an adjournment of the hearing, citing a disability, the withdrawal of his legal representative, and academic commitments.
The individual respondents consented, but the organizational respondent opposed the request.
The Tribunal denied the adjournment, finding that the applicant had not provided sufficient medical evidence to establish extraordinary circumstances and that the unavailability of his new representative and return to studies did not warrant an adjournment.
Tribunal denies deferral for internal university investigation and allows applicant to add local fraternity chapter.
The applicant filed a human rights complaint against a fraternity and a university.
The university requested a deferral pending its internal investigation, which the Tribunal denied because an internal investigation is not a proceeding under s. 45.1 of the Code.
The fraternity's request for a summary hearing was also denied.
The applicant's unopposed request to amend the application to vary remedies and add a local fraternity chapter as a respondent was granted.
