Case Summary

The applicant filed human rights applications on behalf of herself and her mother, alleging discrimination with respect to services by a nursing home, its employees, and employees of the Public Guardian and Trustee. In this interim decision, the Tribunal removed the nursing home employees as personal respondents, adding the corporate operator in their place. The Tribunal dismissed the application against the Public Guardian and Trustee respondents, finding no service relationship existed between them and the applicant, as their interactions occurred in the context of adversarial litigation over the mother's care. The Tribunal declined to dismiss the application against the nursing home at this preliminary stage, finding it arguable that the home provided services to the applicant while she acted under a Power of Attorney.
