The University of British Columbia’s petition to dismiss Dr. Jennifer Chan’s complaint of racial discrimination must go back to the BC Human Rights Tribunal says a 29 May 2013\u00a0BC Supreme Court’s judgment<\/a>.\u00a0The\u00a0BCHRT’s decision on 24 January 2012 to hear the\u00a0Chan v UBC and others [Beth Haverkamp, David Farrar, Jon Shapiro, Rob Tierney] case<\/a>\u00a0was moved to the Supreme Court for a judicial review.\u00a0In addition to the BCHRT decision and Supreme Court judgment, the\u00a0Ubyssey’s (<\/em>UBC student newspaper)\u00a0feature article<\/a>\u00a0provides a background to the case.<\/p>\n

In the Supreme Court judgment, Madam Justice Loo argues that the BCHRT must assess whether “the\u00a0complaint has been appropriately dealt with in another proceeding.” A decision within the BCHRT to hear the case must address UBC’s argument that\u00a0“internal university processes [used to hear Chan’s appeals] qualified under the Code <\/i>as ‘proceedings’ that had appropriately addressed the substance of” Chan’s complaint. Chan “asserts that she has exhausted the internal complaint mechanism of UBC and that it was flawed<\/a>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
