Applicant permitted to amend human rights application to add ground of disability discrimination.
The applicant requested an order during proceedings to amend her human rights application to include allegations of discrimination because of disability.
The original application alleged reprisal and discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The respondent opposed the amendment, arguing prejudice through additional legal costs.
The Tribunal granted the request, noting the application was in its early stages, the new allegations related generally to the existing claims of employment discrimination, and responding would not require substantial new investigation.
Summary dismissal denied as conflicting factual accounts of workplace discrimination required credibility assessments.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and harassment in employment based on sexual orientation, leading to her resignation.
The respondent denied the allegations and requested the application be dismissed at a summary hearing for having no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal declined to dismiss the application, finding that the dispute involved conflicting factual accounts that required credibility assessments, which could not be resolved at a summary hearing.
Adjournment of telephone summary hearing denied despite applicant's mobility issues and lack of representation.
The applicant requested an adjournment of a summary hearing scheduled by telephone, citing physical injuries affecting her mobility and a lack of legal representation.
The respondent opposed the request.
The Tribunal denied the adjournment, noting that mobility issues would not affect participation in a telephone hearing and that seeking representation is not typically grounds for an adjournment.
