Is character evidence admitted and accepted into evidence in a human rights panel hearing?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from McLean v. Market Place Restaurant & Spock’s Bar, 2004 AHRC 13 (CanLII):
The respondent argued that character evidence was admitted and accepted into evidence in Hewstan v. Auchinleck [1997] para. 36 (Canadian Human Rights Tribunal). To permit restrictions in one panel hearing that are not imposed in another panel hearing is a violation of the principles of natural justice amounting to grievous procedural unfairness.
