Tribunal defines class for access to youth records and orders police to produce relevant documents.
In an interim decision regarding a human rights complaint, the Tribunal determined the class of persons entitled to access youth records released by a Youth Court Judge's order.
The Tribunal defined the class broadly to include the Tribunal, parties, counsel, and necessary witnesses or experts, rejecting requests to restrict access further.
The Tribunal also ordered the Peel Regional Police Services Board and the Chief of Police to make full production and disclosure of all arguably relevant documents to facilitate mediation.
Temporary publication ban granted to protect the identity of a minor complainant facing criminal charges.
The complainant, a minor at the time of the events, brought a motion for a publication ban on his name.
The complainant alleged discrimination and reprisal by the school board and police services following an incident on school property that led to his expulsion and criminal charges.
Because the complainant was charged as a minor, the Youth Criminal Justice Act applied, which prohibits publishing the name of a young person dealt with under the Act.
The Tribunal granted a temporary publication ban on the complainant's name, noting the principles underlying the legislation, to remain in effect until mediation or further submissions.
