The applicant filed a complaint against the society under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017, alleging that the society failed to hear her concerns regarding the abuse of her children by their respective fathers and failed to provide reasons for its decisions.

The Child and Family Services Review Board found that while the society did give the applicant an opportunity to be heard, it failed to provide her with satisfactory reasons for its decisions regarding child abuse investigations and other related matters.

The Board ordered the society to provide written explanations to the applicant regarding its investigations, decisions, and interactions with her.

The applicant filed a Request for Order During Proceedings seeking the production of various documents from the respondent in a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability and age.

The Tribunal found that the requested documents, including property manager reports, bookkeeping records, cancelled cheques, Board meeting minutes, and financial statements, were arguably relevant to the issues in dispute.

The respondent was ordered to produce the requested documents.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability by her former employer and her union.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss on the basis of delay, as the application was filed more than one year after the last alleged incident of discrimination.

The applicant argued that the delay was incurred in good faith because she was waiting for the union to pursue her grievances and was unaware of her rights.

The Tribunal rejected these arguments, finding that waiting for another proceeding to conclude and ignorance of rights without making inquiries do not constitute good faith reasons for delay.

The application was dismissed as untimely.
