The Income Security Advocacy Centre (ISAC) brought an unopposed motion for leave to intervene as a friend of the court in an application for judicial review.
The underlying application concerns a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decision regarding the Ministry's refusal of a Guide Dog Benefit to a person with a mental health disability.
The court granted the motion, finding that ISAC met the criteria for intervention given its extensive experience and expertise with social assistance, ODSP benefits, and the Human Rights Code, and that its participation would be useful without prejudicing the parties.
