The JCCF is trying everything they can think of, but the court already assumes guilt, and the "judge" acts as counsel for the plaintiff.
If the women lose, and they or the lawyer believe the above to be true, they'd have excellent grounds for getting the verdicts overturned, as it's explicitly against the BCHRT rules:
Does the Tribunal advocate for me or represent me in my complaint?
No, the Tribunal does not act as an advocate. The Tribunal is a specialized court. It must be neutral. That means it does not take sides in a human rights complaint. This is because it may need to make decisions about the complaint and the complaint process that are fair to both parties.
Why can’t the Tribunal advocate for me?
The Tribunal is responsible for having a process that is fair to both parties. That means that it cannot take sides. If the Tribunal has to make a decision about a complaint, it has to do this with an open mind, not as an advocate for one side.
Will the Tribunal investigate or prosecute the complaint?
No. The Tribunal does not have the power to investigate a complaint. The Tribunal does not act as a prosecutor. The Tribunal requires both sides to give each other information about the complaint.
Agreed. Whether you think he's doing a good job or not, it's better than no representation, and he acts as a buffer between JY and the women.The lawyer may not be able to get them the verdict they want, but at least the special needs immigrants don't have to go through this by themselves, or say something that would make the tribunal even angrier.
