Hot tip!
Something to consider as you approach a hearing. You want to make sure everyone is going to be able to attend, and hasn’t booked a vacation or a surgery, etc. You want to make sure they are available!
You can submit a request for “Orders to Attend”
Go to the website on the BC Human Rights Tribunal website to their FORMS section.
Scroll down and find the section on Orders to Attend a Hearing
Fill out the form for each person on your witness list. You can do this 5-6 months before the hearing.
THEY DO NOT LIKE THIS!
You have every right to go up to each person and serve this to them yourself. The school district will want to do it instead. Up to you if you want to allow that. They will need to confirm to you in writing when it has been done. (Whether they do it, or are holding off, who knows….)
But I can tell you, if you want to send them into a panic, this is one of those chess moves that will get their attention.
If they fight you on providing any of the individual information you are requesting, EMAIL YOUR CASE MANAGER ASAP.
