Four organizations brought motions seeking intervener status in an appeal by Christian Horizons from a decision of the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.
The Tribunal had found that Christian Horizons infringed the rights of an employee and could not rely on the special employment exemption in s. 24.1(a) of the Human Rights Code.
The court granted Egale Canada Inc., the Canadian Council of Christian Charities, and The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada intervener status as friends of the court.
The Ontario College of Catholic Bishops was granted leave to intervene as an added party with a limited right to file additional evidence.
