Production of high school accommodation records denied as irrelevant to discriminatory admissions claim.
The respondent college brought a request for an order during proceedings seeking production of the applicant's high school accommodation records.
The applicant alleged that the respondent's grades-based admission process for its Veterinary Assistant program discriminated against her on the basis of disability.
The respondent argued the records were relevant to show its assessment of her accommodated high school grades was not discriminatory.
The Tribunal denied the request, finding the documents were not arguably relevant because the issue was whether the grades-based admission process itself was discriminatory, not whether the applicant was properly accommodated in high school.
Tribunal grants applicant a 45-day extension to file a proper Reply.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability in services.
He subsequently filed a Request for Order During Proceedings seeking a 45-day extension to file a proper Reply, citing his college schedule and the need to consult a lawyer.
The respondents objected, arguing the applicant had already filed a Reply and citing prejudice to the personal respondent.
The Tribunal granted the 45-day extension, noting the circumstances and dates of the allegations, and directed the matter to mediation.
