Motion by advocacy group to intervene in human rights complaint regarding accessible transit dismissed.
Transportation Action Now, Inc. (TAN) brought a motion seeking to intervene in a human rights complaint regarding the Toronto Transit Commission's Wheel-Trans service.
TAN sought full non-party intervenor status to adduce evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and make legal submissions.
The Board of Inquiry reviewed its jurisdiction to grant intervenor status and the criteria for amicus curiae participation.
The Board found that while the case involved public interest, TAN did not demonstrate a current expertise or a perspective different from the existing parties (the Commission and the Complainants) that would assist the Board.
The motion to intervene was dismissed.
