Benjamin Quinton, Applicant Self-represented

Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Ontario as represented by the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, Respondent Donna Petri, Counsel

1This is an Application filed under s. 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”), alleging discrimination with respect to disability in the provision of goods, services and facilities.

2The applicant has filed a Request for Order During Proceeding seeking the production of certain documents. The respondent opposes this request on the grounds that it is premature.

3The applicant’s production request is denied on the basis that it is premature. Under Rule 16 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure, each party must deliver to the other a list and copy of all arguably relevant documents in its possession within 21 days after the Tribunal sends a Confirmation of Hearing to the parties. No Confirmation of Hearing has been issued in this case and there are no special circumstances that justify a production order at this stage of the process. The applicant may file a new request if the documents are not provided in accordance with Rule 16.
