The Ontario Human Rights Commission sought production of documents relating to the respondent's Alcohol and Drug Policy as a whole, while the respondent argued for a phased approach focusing first on the individual complainant.
The Board of Inquiry adopted a phased approach, ordering production of documents relating only to the individual complainant at this stage.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association sought intervener status as amicus curiae.
The Board granted the CCLA intervener status to make submissions at the conclusion of the case, noting the public interest nature of human rights inquiries.
