Human rights applications reactivated after delay; anonymization denied and jurisdictional challenges deferred for formal requests.
The applicant filed requests to reactivate four human rights applications that had been held in abeyance pending the resolution of capacity issues in civil proceedings.
The respondents opposed reactivation due to delay and raised jurisdictional issues, including a claim by one respondent that it was a federally-regulated business.
The Tribunal granted the request to reactivate, finding the applicant had provided a reasonable explanation for the delay and the respondents had not established substantial prejudice.
The Tribunal denied the applicant's request for anonymization and deferred final determination of the jurisdictional issues, directing the respondents to file formal requests for early dismissal.
Appeal dismissed; funeral director's handling of disputed funeral arrangements did not warrant discipline referral.
The applicant appealed a decision of the Board of Funeral Services' Complaints Committee declining to refer her complaint against a funeral director to the Discipline Committee.
The applicant alleged she was improperly excluded from her mother's funeral arrangements due to a family dispute.
The Tribunal found that the funeral director acted reasonably in a difficult situation and that the matter did not warrant referral to the Discipline Committee.
The Tribunal directed the Complaints Committee to carry out its original proposal and recommendations.
