The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability, more than one year after the last alleged incident.

The Tribunal held a preliminary hearing to determine if the delay was incurred in good faith.

The applicant argued the delay was due to waiting for other legal proceedings and a brain injury.

The Tribunal found that waiting for other proceedings does not constitute good faith, and the medical evidence provided did not establish a causal link between her disability and the inability to file on time.

The application was dismissed for delay.

The applicant student group filed a human rights application alleging that the respondent university discriminated against three of its members on the basis of ancestry, ethnic origin, and place of origin.

The dispute arose after the university removed and refused to approve the posting of a controversial political poster promoting 'Israeli Apartheid Week', and subsequently sent a campus-wide email regarding human rights and civil discourse.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the university's actions were motivated by genuine, good faith concerns about student safety and escalating campus tensions following an unprecedented number of hate-related incidents, rather than any discriminatory animus against Palestinians or their supporters.
