How to search for human rights decisions
Looking at decisions made by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal and the higher courts can help you prepare and argue your case.
Tribunal decisions can help you understand how the Tribunal applies the law and how the Tribunal process works.
Tribunal Members may follow previous decisions made by this or other tribunals, but they are not required to. However, they must follow decisions made by the Federal Court, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. When one of these courts makes a decision about the Accessible Canada Act, the Tribunal Member has to apply the law in the same way as the court did when faced with the same issue.
