Permission granted to municipality to procure engineer's report to vary 1966 drainage assessment schedule.
The applicant municipality applied under s. 76(1) of the Drainage Act for permission to procure an engineer's report to vary the Schedule of Assessment for a municipal drain.
The schedule had not been updated since 1966, and numerous severances had occurred without apportionments.
The respondent municipality did not oppose the application.
The Tribunal found that conditions had changed justifying a variation and granted the application.
Human rights application dismissed for delay; settlement discussions do not justify late filing.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the ground of disability, claiming he was terminated in October 2008 and subsequently denied severance pay.
The application was filed in July 2011, well beyond the one-year time limit under section 34 of the Human Rights Code.
The applicant argued the delay was due to ongoing attempts to negotiate a severance package through his union and a paralegal.
The Tribunal found that settlement discussions do not constitute a valid explanation for delay and dismissed the application as untimely.
