The applicant filed a Request for an Order During Proceedings to amend her human rights application to add a claim for $15,000 in general damages for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect.

The respondent did not file a response.

The Tribunal granted the request, noting its general practice of allowing amendments to remedies sought, as the Tribunal ultimately determines the appropriate remedy and there is typically no prejudice to the respondent.

The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination and sexual harassment against her employer.

After retaining counsel, she brought a Request for an Order During Proceedings to add a lead hand and a co-worker as individual respondents.

Applying the three-part test from Smyth, the Tribunal granted the request to add the lead hand, noting specific allegations against him, minimal prejudice, and the potential need for a specific remedial order.

The request to add the co-worker was deferred because the request had not been properly delivered to him.

The applicant filed a Request for Order During Proceedings seeking to amend her human rights application, which alleged sex discrimination.

The proposed amendment sought to add details to an incident already alleged in the original application.

The respondent did not file a response to the request.

The Tribunal granted the request, finding that the amendment did not significantly expand the scope of the hearing, did not add new allegations of Code breaches, and was made at an early stage of the proceeding.

The respondent was granted time to amend his response.
