In an application alleging discrimination in services on the ground of family status against a gymnastics club, both parties brought Requests for Order During Proceedings (RFOPs).
The applicant sought production of various documents and to amend her application to add the ground of disability.
The respondent sought to amend its response to add a statutory defence under section 20(3) of the Human Rights Code and to withdraw certain portions.
The Tribunal granted the applicant's production request only in part, ordering the disclosure of a complete email chain.
The Tribunal allowed the respondent to add the section 20(3) defence but denied the withdrawal of portions of the response at this stage.
The applicant's request to add the ground of disability was denied as it would significantly alter and expand the proceedings without an evidentiary basis.
