INTERIM DECISION

Adjudicator: David A. Wright

Date: October 20, 2011

Citation: 2011 HRTO 1904

Indexed as: Claybourn v. Toronto Police Service

1The African Canadian Legal Clinic, Independent Police Review Director, Metro Toronto Chinese & Southeast Asian Legal Clinic, Ontario Human Rights Commission, South Asian Legal Clinic of Ontario seek leave to intervene in this Application. The Requests are unopposed. It is evident that each of these proposed intervenors will contribute to the Tribunal’s understanding of the issues in question, and leave to intervene is granted to each of them.

2I note that some of the intervenors propose to call evidence. The Tribunal’s hearings on whether an Application should be dismissed on the basis that another proceeding has appropriately dealt with the substance of the Application have typically not involved the hearing of evidence. The issue of the scope of the interventions, and whether evidence will be called, will be dealt with on a case management call to be scheduled with the parties in a separate Case Assessment Direction.

3I am not seized.
