The respondent in a human rights application requested an order permitting it to access, use, and disclose the applicant's occupational health and claims management file before filing its response, as well as a 35-day extension of time to file the response.
The applicant consented to the document access but argued the extension should be limited to 14 days.
The Tribunal found exceptional circumstances justified early production of the medical file to allow the respondent to meaningfully respond.
The Tribunal granted the document access and ordered the respondent to file its response within 21 days.
