Can a complaint against Dr. A be accepted for filing on the basis of timeliness?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Mr. C v. The Clinic and another, 2016 BCHRT 192 (CanLII):
In ND v. University of British Columbia and others, 2009 BCHRT 60, the complaint against Dr. A was not accepted for filing based on timeliness. There was no assessment of the strength of the case on the merits and therefore no form of vindication. Consequently, the allegations would remain as never having been tested or assessed as to their substantive merit and, thus, the potential impact to reputation would remain outstanding.
