After the Tribunal process ends

Last updated: March 17, 2026

In some cases, the Tribunal’s process ends when the Tribunal dismisses a complaint without a hearing.

After a hearing, the Tribunal decides if there was discrimination. If not, the Tribunal dismisses the complaint. If there was discrimination, the Tribunal orders a remedy.

Usually, the Tribunal will take some time to write a decision. This can take about six months. In some cases, the Tribunal will make an oral decision soon after the hearing.
