British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Haskell v. Vancouver Coastal Health and others, 2011 BCHRT 209 (CanLII):

In this regard, I note that the onus is on the complainant to persuade the Tribunal both that it is in the public interest to accept the complaint, and that no substantial prejudice would result to any person in doing so: Chartier v. School District No. 62, 2003 BCHRT 39, para. 12.
