The applicant in a human rights application alleging discrimination in housing sought to add her condominium corporation's property manager and lawyers as respondents.

The Tribunal granted the request to add the property manager, finding the applicant made allegations that could support a Code violation regarding day-to-day management.

The Tribunal denied the request to add the lawyers, noting that the relationship between a lawyer and an opposing party does not fall within the social areas covered by the Code.

The applicant filed a Request for Order During Proceedings seeking to amend her human rights application to add new allegations of discrimination regarding condominium common areas and parking, to increase the remedy sought, and to add the condominium's property manager and lawyers as respondents.

The Tribunal granted the request to amend the application, finding the new allegations were related to the original narrative and the amendment would not unduly prejudice the respondent.

However, the Tribunal denied the request to add the proposed respondents, as the applicant failed to provide specific allegations or facts that could support a finding that they violated the Human Rights Code.
