Respondents
RECONSIDERATION DECISION
Adjudicator: Brian Cook
Indexed as: Moore v. Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)
1The applicant has submitted a Request to Reconsider (“the Request”), seeking a reconsideration of Decision 2014 HRTO 904 (“the Decision”). The Decision dismissed the Application in which the applicant alleged discrimination by the respondents in regard to a letter dated January 7, 2014.
2The Request makes clear that the applicant does not agree with the Decision. In the Request the applicant also restates his opinion about the relationship between the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Bill of Human Rights. He expressed the same or similar views in the original Application.
3Rule 26.5 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure establishes what a party must show in order to have the Tribunal favourably consider a request to reconsider:
26.5 A Request for Reconsideration will not be granted unless the Tribunal is satisfied that:
there are new facts or evidence that could potentially be determinative of the case and that could not reasonably have been obtained earlier; or
the party seeking reconsideration was entitled to but, through no fault of its own, did not receive notice of the proceeding or a hearing; or
the decision or order which is the subject of the reconsideration request is in conflict with established jurisprudence or Tribunal procedure and the proposed reconsideration involves a matter of general or public importance; or
other factors exist that, in the opinion of the Tribunal, outweigh the public interest in the finality of Tribunal decisions.
4None of these factors exist in this case and there is therefore no basis to reconsider the Decision. Request for Reconsideration is denied.
Dated at Toronto, this 10^th^ day of July, 2014.
