Your fight remains at the core of everything we do.
- We draw upon notable precedents such as Khangura v Argo Managing Agency & others [2020] BCHRT 147, where an applicant successfully demonstrated her depression constituted a physical disability entailing substantial restrictions necessitating accommodation. By examining applicable legislation like Human Rights Code 13(2), tribunal assessments can determine if discrimination has taken place or appropriate modifications must be incorporated into existing policies, practices, or structures.
