Human rights application dismissed; applicant failed to cooperate in the LSAT accommodation process.
The applicant, who has ADHD, alleged that the Law School Admission Council discriminated against him by failing to accommodate his disability during the LSAT and by disciplining him for misconduct.
The applicant had requested extra time, a quiet room, and earplugs, but failed to provide a comprehensive achievement battery required by the respondent's guidelines before the strict deadline.
The Tribunal found that the respondent did not breach the procedural duty to accommodate, as its requests for information were reasonable.
The Tribunal also found no breach of the substantive duty to accommodate, concluding that the applicant failed to reasonably cooperate in the accommodation process.
Finally, the Tribunal held that the discipline imposed for the applicant's disruptive behaviour during the test did not constitute discrimination.
