Human rights application dismissed as out of time; applicant failed to establish good faith delay.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of sex by the respondent casino, 15 months after the incident.
The respondent requested the application be dismissed for being filed outside the one-year statutory time limit.
The applicant argued the delay was incurred in good faith due to her mental health issues, learning disability, and personal circumstances.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's level of activity in pursuing her rights shortly after the incident, along with the medical evidence, did not support her claim that her disabilities prevented her from filing on time.
The application was dismissed as the delay was not incurred in good faith.
