What is the test for reconsideration of a decision by the BC Human Rights Tribunal?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Chestacow v. School District No. 63 (Saanich) and another (No. 2), 2013 BCHRT 263 (CanLII):
The Tribunal’s implied equitable jurisdiction to reconsider a decision is narrow. As noted in Bindra v. School District No. 36 (No. 2), 2011 BCHRT 77: An application for reconsideration is not a further opportunity to make submissions after a decision is rendered. The equitable jurisdiction to reconsider is exercised only when, due to the circumstances, it is necessary to do so in the interests of fairness and justice. (para. 11)
