The Tribunal issued an interim decision addressing several preliminary issues in a human rights application.
On consent, the personal respondents were removed from the application.
The respondent's request for a summary hearing was denied because the issues required a hearing on the merits to resolve conflicting evidence.
The applicant was granted permission to amend her application, as the proceeding was at an early stage and there was no prejudice to the respondent.
Finally, the respondent's request for early production of documents was denied as premature, as the Notice of Hearing had not yet been issued and no exceptional circumstances were established.
