The BC Human Rights Tribunal ordered a nonprofit employer to disclose witness interview notes, interview memoranda and phone memoranda from a disputed workplace harassment investigation. Those records were relevant to its fairness. Litigation privilege wasn't established because preparing for litigation wasn't their dominant purpose. The Tribunal did not order disclosure of draft reports, the investigator's preliminary impressions or confidential legal advice.
In its September 15, 2026 procedural ruling, the Tribunal also granted temporary anonymity to the complainant but refused a broader publication ban. The underlying allegations remain disputed and haven't been decided on their merits.
