Following a pre-hearing conference call, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario issued an interim decision establishing a process to address preliminary objections raised by the respondents.
The respondents argued that the Tribunal should not hear the matter or that some allegations should be excluded.
The Tribunal ordered the complainant and the Commission to clarify the specific actions alleged to constitute discrimination, and set a timetable for written submissions, documentary evidence, and a one-day oral hearing to determine the preliminary issues.
