Reconsideration granted where applicant's failure to attend summary hearing was due to counsel's diarization error.
The applicant requested reconsideration of a decision dismissing his human rights application as abandoned after he and his counsel failed to attend a scheduled summary hearing.
The applicant's counsel explained that he had incorrectly diarized the hearing date.
The Tribunal granted the request for reconsideration, finding that the applicant should not be prejudiced by his counsel's error, and noted that this factor outweighed the public interest in the finality of Tribunal decisions.
