Judicial Review Deadline Extension

Summary

You can request an extension for judicial review deadlines in Alberta by applying for leave of the court. Exceptional circumstances, such as disability or significant struggles, must be demonstrated with evidence like medical records or proof of hardship. The court will evaluate your reasons and decide whether to grant the extension. If you believe the tribunal made reviewable errors in your human rights complaint, this could strengthen your case. Ensure your application includes the decision being reviewed, reasons for the delay, and why your case merits attention.
