The applicant, a doctoral student with post-concussion syndrome, alleged that the respondent university failed to accommodate his disability during his comprehensive examination.
Mid-way through the hearing, the respondents requested that the application be dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found that the respondents had provided all accommodations recommended by the applicant's medical professionals.
The applicant failed to provide medical evidence linking his requested accommodations—specifically, changing the exam format to eliminate the written component or removing all deadlines—to his disability.
The Tribunal concluded there was no reasonable prospect of success for either the substantive or procedural duty to accommodate claims and dismissed the application.
