The applicants filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in the medical care provided to their deceased family member and the subsequent failure of the Office of the Chief Coroner to hold an inquest.
The Tribunal considered preliminary issues regarding the timeliness of the application and the naming of personal respondents.
The Tribunal found that the application was filed outside the one-year limitation period for all respondents except the Office of the Chief Coroner, and that the delay was not incurred in good faith.
The application was dismissed against all respondents other than the Office of the Chief Coroner.
The Tribunal also removed the personal respondents associated with the Office of the Chief Coroner on consent.
