The applicant sought to add Makesh Samoondar as an individual respondent and remove the corporate respondent, Connect Personnel, which had been dissolved.
The applicant alleged sexual harassment and solicitation during her employment.
The Tribunal applied the Smyth and Persaud factors and found that since the corporate respondent no longer existed, the proposed individual respondent, who was the sole director and president of the dissolved corporation, should be added as a party to prevent him from being shielded from potential liability.
The request was granted.
