Effective May 12, 2023, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) has updated its primary intake form, Form 1: Individual Application and created a new Form 1G: Application on Behalf of Another Person(s) under Section 34(5) of the Human Rights Code.
The revised Form 1:
- Is shorter in length
- Uses plain language
- Minimizes redundancy by requesting less, more relevant information
- Clarifies that applicants should not provide certain documents unless specifically asked
The new Form 1G, for person(s) filing on behalf of another person, minimizes the need for filing multiple application forms, provides more clear language and reduces the confusion on how to file these applications.
For additional information for applicants, the HRTO revised the Applicant’s Guide.
