The applicants sought judicial review of a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decision that summarily dismissed their complaint regarding a failure to provide sign language interpretation during a private prosecution.
The Divisional Court upheld the dismissal against the private prosecutor and the individual who laid the information, finding they did not provide a 'service' under the Human Rights Code.
The Court also dismissed the application against the Justices of the Peace due to judicial immunity.
However, the Court found the Tribunal's dismissal of the complaint against the Ministry of the Attorney General was unreasonable, as the Tribunal ignored explicit allegations that requests for interpretation were made to the court clerk.
The matter against the Ministry was remitted to the Tribunal.
