The BC Human Rights Tribunal denied a former health authority worker's application to reconsider the dismissal of his employment discrimination complaint. The complaint arose from his refusal to follow workplace vaccination orders on religious grounds. In September 2026, the Tribunal refused to reopen the complaint merely because the worker disagreed with the July dismissal.
The Tribunal explained that reconsideration is reserved for narrow situations such as unresolved issues or procedural unfairness. It found no such defect in the earlier decision. This ruling concerns the finality of tribunal decisions, not a new assessment of whether vaccination requirements complied with human rights law.
