What if mediation resolves the complaint?
If the negotiation results in the parties signing minutes of settlement, the Tribunal will close its file after the settlement has been approved by the Canadian Human Rights Commission, in accordance with the Canadian Human Rights Act. If the parties agree to a settlement that will be signed on resolution of certain minor issues or undertakings, the Tribunal process will be adjourned for a short period (two to four weeks) pending confirmation that minutes of settlement have been signed. What if mediation does not resolve the complaint? Should mediation not result in a resolution of the complaint, the Registry Officer will contact the parties to arrange for a case management conference call with a Tribunal member within the following two weeks.
