In an interim decision regarding a human rights application alleging sex discrimination and reprisal, the Tribunal addressed several preliminary requests.
The union's unopposed request to intervene was granted.
The applicant's request to add two individual respondents was denied, as the corporate respondent accepted liability and no compelling reason existed to add them.
The respondents' request to remove the individual respondent Kevin Cochrane was also denied, as he was a central figure in the allegations and a remedial order against him was possible.
The Tribunal also modified the parties' disclosure obligations.
