Is CAFE permitted to call or examine witnesses?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Oger v. Whatcott, 2017 BCHRT 195 (CanLII):
As it acknowledges, in Hughson v. Oliver, CAFE was afforded intervenor status but was not permitted to call or examine witnesses. In its reply, it says that it is “aware of at least 2 witnesses that we propose to produce.” It does not name the witnesses or what evidence those witnesses would give.
