The applicant in a human rights proceeding requested that the respondent disclose the addresses of several proposed witnesses.

The respondent refused, arguing the applicant had not provided detailed witness statements.

Following a teleconference, the applicant provided sufficient particulars for four witnesses but failed to do so for four others.

The Tribunal ordered the respondent to disclose the addresses for the four witnesses with sufficient particulars, but not for the others.

In an application alleging discrimination and reprisal, the self-represented applicant requested that the respondent disclose the addresses of several proposed witnesses.

The respondent refused to disclose the addresses without more detailed witness statements.

Following a teleconference, the applicant provided sufficient particulars for four witnesses but failed to do so for four others.

The Tribunal ordered the respondent to disclose the addresses for the four witnesses with sufficient particulars, noting that relevance could be challenged at the hearing, but denied the request for the remaining witnesses.

The applicant sought to amend his human rights application to include race as a ground of discrimination and requested the disclosure of documents from the respondent.

The Tribunal granted the request to amend the application to include race, noting that it would be more efficient to hear all allegations together, although a 2011 incident was deemed untimely and included only for context.

The Tribunal found the applicant's request for document disclosure to be premature as he had not yet provided his own list of arguably relevant documents, and set a schedule for the exchange of documents.
