Tribunal decision rejecting late-filed application deemed unreasonable where delay was caused by on-site printing issues.
The applicant attempted to file a human rights complaint on the final day of the limitation period but was delayed past 5:00 PM due to printing issues at the Tribunal office.
Tribunal staff refused to accept the application, and the Tribunal subsequently ruled the later filing was out of time.
On judicial review, the Divisional Court found the Tribunal's decision unreasonable, noting it failed to consider the applicant's good faith efforts to file on time and the severe consequences of denying the application.
The application was allowed and remitted to the Tribunal.
Human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal in hiring process dismissed for no reasonable prospect of success.
The applicant alleged discrimination and reprisal in a 2013 hiring process after he was interviewed but not hired by the respondent.
He claimed the interview panel, consisting of two Black men, was a trick to discriminate against him, and that questions about a former co-worker indicated reprisal for a 2010 human rights complaint.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing and dismissed the application, finding no reasonable prospect of success for either the discrimination or reprisal claims.
The Tribunal also dismissed the respondent's request to declare the applicant a vexatious litigant, noting that while he had filed many applications, he had not inappropriately pursued decided matters or disregarded Tribunal orders in this case.
