The applicant's sister filed a Request for an Order During Proceedings seeking to be appointed as litigation guardian for the applicant, who has a developmental disability.
The respondent opposed the request, arguing the sister had not been appointed by a court and questioning her involvement in the applicant's care.
The Tribunal held that it has the power to appoint a litigation guardian and that a court appointment is not necessary.
The Tribunal found that the sister may act as litigation guardian, subject to filing the required Form 4B declaration under the Tribunal's Rules of Procedure.
