The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination based on sex arising from the respondents' gender verification and anti-doping policies.
The foreign respondents, the Union Cycliste Internationale and the International Olympic Committee, argued that they were not validly served because the Application was not served in accordance with the Hague Service Convention.
The Tribunal held that Ontario law does not require compliance with the Hague Service Convention in Tribunal proceedings, and that the respondents had received effective legal notice through the Tribunal's regular methods of transmission.
