The applicant filed an application alleging sexual solicitation and advances in employment.
The hearing was previously adjourned due to the personal respondent's illness.
The personal respondent submitted medical evidence indicating he is bed-bound with myasthenia gravis and atrial fibrillation, and is unlikely to ever be able to participate in a hearing.
The applicant sought to proceed, while the respondents argued it would be unfair to proceed without the personal respondent.
The Tribunal found that further adjournments would be of no value given the prognosis, and ordered the hearing to be scheduled, noting the respondents could seek to introduce the personal respondent's evidence by affidavit.
