Application for judicial review of 2017 and 2019 HRTO decisions dismissed under Rule 2.1 for excessive delay.
The applicant sought judicial review of several Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decisions, including three decisions from 2017 and 2019.
The court issued a notice under Rule 2.1 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, considering dismissing the applications regarding the older decisions due to excessive delay.
The applicant provided submissions, but the court found the delay of over four to five years to be inordinate with no credible explanation.
The court dismissed the applications for judicial review of the 2017 and 2019 decisions as abuses of process that were doomed to fail.
