Human rights application alleging age discrimination in university admissions dismissed for no reasonable prospect of success.
The applicant alleged age discrimination and reprisal after being denied admission to a part-time business law program at the respondent university.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found no evidence linking the denial of admission to the applicant's age, nor any evidence of reprisal, as the applicant's threat of legal action occurred after the admission decision.
The application was dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.
Human rights application dismissed as out of time; waiting for internal appeal is not good faith delay.
The applicant, a university student, alleged discrimination on the basis of race and disability after a professor denied her request for an extension and assigned her failing grades in December 2012.
She pursued internal academic appeals until May 2014 and filed her human rights application in May 2014.
The Tribunal held a preliminary hearing to determine if the application was timely.
The Tribunal found that the internal appeal processes were not a series of discriminatory incidents but rather the ongoing effects of the December 2012 decision.
Furthermore, the Tribunal held that waiting for the conclusion of an internal appeal process did not constitute a good faith reason for the delay.
The application was dismissed as out of time.
