The Tribunal considered two requests for reconsideration of a previous decision finding that the respondent discriminated against the complainant.
The complainant sought to correct a typographical error in the respondent's name, which the Tribunal granted.
The respondent, through his daughter acting as power of attorney, sought reconsideration on the basis that his severe mental disability (paranoid schizophrenia) rendered him incapable of participating in the original hearing.
The Tribunal found that the respondent's fundamental right to be heard outweighed the public interest in finality, extended the time limit for the request, and ordered the complaint to be heard de novo.
