The following excerpt is from Wilkinson v. School District No. 34 (Abbotsford) and others, 2013 BCHRT 77 (CanLII):
The respondents oppose the amendment application, on the basis that it would, if accepted, expand the scope of the complaint, and thus present them with a “moving target” after they have already provided a detailed response to the complaint, and filed an application to dismiss it: Pausch v. School District No. 34 and others, 2008 BCHRT 154, paras. 20-31.
