They Also Erred

When I began writing about the past landlord/tenant matter in 2009 in this blog, I didn't mention that the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal had also made a mistake in their decisions during my hearing in 1998.  There was a serious error according to human rights law and it made a difference to my case.  If this kind of error had been made in a regular court, I believe it would've been grounds for an appeal.  But because of the processes of the Housing Tribunal and because the Ontario Human Rights Code wasn't prosecuted in the regular courts, there wasn't a possibility of an appeal for the above reason.  There was actually no final decision imposed by the Tribunal because my landlady and I were encouraged to make a settlement between us, which we did.  But you never know what might've been different if the Tribunal hadn't erred!  Anyway, I wanted to point out that I wasn't the only one who made a mistake.
