The Applicant sought leave for the late commencement of an application for judicial review of a decision by the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.
The motion was brought over two years after the deadline to commence the judicial review had expired, due to the Applicant's own actions and delays.
The court found that reviving the proceeding would cause substantial prejudice to the responding university, as the underlying 2018 proceeding was never heard on its merits and some witnesses were no longer available.
The application was dismissed with costs awarded against the Applicant.
