The respondents brought a Request for Order During Proceedings to remove six individual respondents from a human rights application, arguing they were unnecessary parties as the institutional respondent accepted vicarious liability for their actions.
The applicant consented to the removal of two individuals but opposed the removal of the remaining four.
Applying the factors from Persaud, the Tribunal found no compelling reason to continue the proceeding against the individuals, as the institutional respondent was capable of remedying any infringement and leaving them as parties would unnecessarily complicate the process.
The request was granted and all personal respondents were removed.
