The appellant appealed a Notice of Proposal by the Registrar to refuse to renew its liquor licence.

The Registrar alleged the appellant was operating an illegal cannabis dispensary, contrary to s. 6(2)(d) of the Liquor Licence Act.

The Tribunal found that the appellant had ceased operating its licensed business and rented the premises to an unauthorized cannabis retailer, failing to inform the Registrar or surrender its licence as required by s. 56 of Regulation 719/90.

The Tribunal directed the Registrar to carry out the proposal to refuse the renewal.

The applicant filed a human rights complaint alleging that the Office of the Children's Lawyer failed to properly investigate his complaint regarding a clinical investigator's report in a child custody dispute.

The respondent requested a summary hearing to dismiss the application.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding it had no reasonable prospect of success as the applicant pled no facts linking the investigation to a protected ground.

Furthermore, the Tribunal held it lacked jurisdiction because there is no service relationship under the Code between the Office of the Children's Lawyer and parents involved in custody litigation.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination based on race and place of origin after the police and Crown declined to pursue criminal charges against his former business partner.

The respondents sought to dismiss the application at a preliminary hearing on the basis of timeliness.

The Tribunal found that the application was filed well beyond the one-year limitation period under section 34(1) of the Human Rights Code.

The applicant's explanation that he was exhausting other avenues of redress was not a sufficient good faith reason to extend the time for filing.

The application was dismissed.
