The applicant in a human rights complaint alleging employment discrimination requested an extension of time to file a Reply and an order for the production of documents from the respondents.
The respondents argued the request was premature as no Notice of Hearing had been issued and mediation was pending.
The Tribunal agreed with the respondents, finding no exceptional circumstances to depart from its normal practice of requiring disclosure only after a hearing date is set.
The request for document production was denied, and the applicant was ordered to file her Reply within 14 days.
