The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal.

One of the individual respondents, a former employee of the respondent College, could not be served because the College no longer had his current address.

The applicant requested an order requiring the College to provide personal information it held regarding the former employee to assist in locating him.

The College consented to providing specific information (financial institution, address on record, references, and emergency contact) subject to a Tribunal order to comply with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

The Tribunal ordered the College to provide the consented information.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging reprisal after his employment was terminated.

He brought a request for an order during proceedings to add a co-worker as a personal respondent, alleging the co-worker made discriminatory comments during the applicant's termination.

The Tribunal granted the request, finding the allegations could lead to a finding of a Code infringement and there was no prejudice to the proposed respondent.

In an application alleging discrimination in employment based on ancestry, place of origin, ethnic origin, and disability, the respondent requested orders for particulars and the production of medical documents.

The Tribunal ordered the applicant to provide specific details regarding the alleged discriminatory comments, including dates, times, locations, and context, within 14 days.

The Tribunal also directed both parties to disclose arguably relevant medical documents once received from the respective medical providers and insurers.
