Tribunal grants request to add personal respondent and amend human rights application.
The applicant brought a Request for an Order During Proceedings to add two individuals as personal respondents, to compel production of addresses and business structure documents, and to amend her Application to add a claim of reprisal and increase the monetary remedy sought.
The Tribunal granted the request to add one individual as a personal respondent, finding there were allegations that could support a Code violation and uncertainty regarding the corporate respondent's liability.
The request to add the second individual was denied as he had not been served.
The Tribunal also ordered the production of addresses and documents, and permitted the applicant to amend her Application.
Human rights application alleging racial discrimination and excessive force during police traffic stop dismissed.
The applicant, a Black woman of Jamaican origin, alleged discrimination by police officers during a traffic stop and subsequent arrest for a suspected breach of bail conditions.
She claimed the officers used excessive force, uttered racial slurs, and ignored her disability.
The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the applicant's evidence lacked credibility and reliability.
The Tribunal accepted the officers' version of events, concluding that the physical altercation resulted from the applicant resisting arrest and that there was insufficient evidence to prove race or disability factored into her treatment.
