What is the test for "arguable relevance" to an application?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Robus v. Independent Living Services, 2013 HRTO 1171 (CanLII):
The “arguable relevance” threshold has been described as “not a particularly high bar”. See Nassiah v. Peel Regional Police Services Board, 2006 HRTO 18, at para. 8, and the cases cited therein. While “arguable relevance” may not be a high onus for the requesting party to satisfy, there must be a nexus between the sought-after material(s) and the subject-matter of the application.
