Request to amend human rights application to add disability ground and factual details granted.
The applicant sought to amend his human rights application to add the ground of disability and provide additional factual details regarding his allegations of discrimination based on family status and disability.
The respondents opposed the amendment, arguing the new allegations were untimely and unconnected to the original application.
The Tribunal granted the request to amend, finding that the new information simply filled out the context of the original allegations and did not raise distinct new facts.
The Tribunal also addressed the applicant's request for the production of documents, granting the request on consent with respect to the respondents and providing directions for obtaining documents from the intervenor and a third party.
Board deferred hearing constitutional challenge to the end of the proceedings to avoid deciding it prematurely.
The applicant City applied for declarations that the responding trade unions no longer represent its construction industry employees, asserting it is a non-construction employer under the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The responding unions raised a constitutional challenge to sections 127.1 and 127.2 of the Act under the Charter.
The applicant sought to have the constitutional challenge determined on a preliminary basis, either by a motion to strike or following evidence on the constitutional issue alone.
The Board declined to hear the constitutional challenge as a preliminary matter, finding it premature as the Charter question would be moot if the applicant failed to establish it was a non-construction employer.
The Board directed that the constitutional issue be heard at the end of the proceedings.
