In an interim decision concerning a complex human rights application brought on behalf of temporary foreign workers, the Tribunal resolved several preliminary and case management issues.
The Tribunal clarified that only the sexual harassment claims of specific applicants were continued from the original consolidated proceedings, dismissing attempts to revive or amend other claims due to delay and lack of particularity.
The Tribunal struck portions of the applicant's detailed pleadings relating to previously settled wage claims and general living conditions, while allowing some context evidence.
The Tribunal also ordered the disclosure of materials from a related criminal proceeding against the personal respondent and permitted the use of the preliminary inquiry transcript as sworn testimony.
