Is it reasonable to delay filing a claim under the BCAA for the past two years?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from C v. B.C. (Ministry of Health), 2012 BCHRT 47 (CanLII):

Assuming, without deciding, that the most recent incident of alleged discrimination was in 2009, I accept that a delay of approximately eleven months is a substantial delay but not an inordinate one if other factors militate in favour of filing: Ferrier v. BCAA, 2009 BCHRT 412, para. 28.
