(PUBLICATION BAN ON PARTY)
The Human Rights Tribunal dismissed the applicant’s complaint on the basis that the issues in her complaint were encompassed in other legal or administrative proceedings. The applicant’s complaint was that two Children’s Aid Societies discriminated against her on the basis of mental disability in the course of apprehending her children and seeking orders for Crown wardship. The applicant’s request for reconsideration was refused. Her application for judicial review was dismissed. The Court of Appeal extended the time for her to file a motion record for leave to appeal to May 31, 2021.
