Tribunal limits Union's intervention, allows CCLA Charter intervention, and rules extrinsic evidence on settlement inadmissible.
In an ongoing human rights application alleging discrimination based on place of origin and citizenship due to the employer's application of ITAR regulations, the Tribunal issued an interim decision on procedural matters.
The Tribunal limited the intervening Union's participation to written and oral submissions, denying its request to call evidence and cross-examine witnesses to avoid undue delay and repetition.
The Tribunal permitted the Canadian Civil Liberties Association to intervene regarding Charter issues.
Finally, the Tribunal ruled that extrinsic evidence from the applicant's former counsel regarding the interpretation of a prior Minutes of Settlement and Release was inadmissible, as the language of the release was clear and unambiguous.
