Applicant permitted to amend remedies sought following liability finding; community organization denied intervenor status.
In a bifurcated human rights proceeding where liability for discrimination was previously established, the applicant sought to amend the personal and public interest remedies claimed.
The respondent opposed the amendments, arguing they constituted new allegations and were out of time.
The Tribunal granted the request to amend, finding the amendments related to the impact of the established discrimination and did not unduly prejudice the respondent.
A request by a community organization to intervene on the issue of public interest remedies was refused, as the Tribunal found the organization's submissions could be adequately addressed through the applicant.
