The appellants appealed their child's special education placement to the Ontario Special Education (English) Tribunal.
In this interim decision, the Tribunal addressed three preliminary issues.
First, the parties agreed on a process for disclosing the child's Ontario Student Record to the respondent.
Second, the Tribunal dismissed the appellants' allegation that the respondent's counsel had a conflict of interest, finding no evidence that the appellant was a client of the counsel's firm or that the bright line rule was breached.
Third, the Tribunal dismissed the appellants' claim that the respondent had an unfair advantage through access to unpublished decisions, noting that all Tribunal decisions are public and confidential settlements cannot be relied upon.
