Request to expedite human rights application denied as financial hardship from dismissal did not constitute urgent circumstances.
The applicant, who alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of race and ethnic origin following his dismissal, requested that his application be expedited under Rule 21 of the Tribunal's Rules of Procedure.
He cited financial hardship and the need to pay his mortgage.
The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the applicant had not demonstrated truly urgent circumstances requiring a particularly rapid resolution compared to the regular process, as he was not seeking reinstatement and had not shown specific reasons why his financial situation was uniquely devastating compared to other dismissal cases.
