The Court found, on judicial review, that the decision of the Director of Human Rights Commission extending the time to file a human rights complaint was unreasonable. The 12 month deadline to file a complaint ran until the formal complaint was made. The statutory scheme under the Human Rights Act, R.S.N.S. 1989, c.219 is premised on a formal complaint and a process of inquiry based on it. The Commission also breached its duty of procedural fairness by not giving the applicant employer, ExxonMobil Canada Ltd., a copy of the respondent employee’s request for an extension prior to the Director making a decision. Finally, there was no basis for a finding of exceptional circumstances because of the respondent’s counsel’s communications with the Commission led counsel to believe that the deadline to file a complaint was extended. The communications between counsel and the commission were about the administratively imposed 28 days for completing the intake questionnaire, not the 12 month statutory deadline. Also, those communications about extending time occurred after the statutory deadline had expired.
