The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability, 7.5 years after his dismissal.
The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss due to the extreme delay.
The applicant argued the delay was due to his drug addiction and subsequent rehabilitation, as well as ignorance of the Tribunal's existence.
The Tribunal found the delay was not incurred in good faith, as the applicant had not suffered a reoccurrence of his disability for over four years and failed to exercise due diligence in pursuing his rights.
The application was dismissed.
