Delays cause profiling case to be thrown out

I remember this news story from 2010: a Concordia student was manhandled by police simply because she had been sitting on a bench in the wee hours. The Human Rights Commission ruled on her behalf and decreed that various damages should be paid, but its rulings are not binding. Now, nine years later, the Human Rights Tribunal has thrown the case out over delays.

Is there any point in having human rights bodies that can make rulings but can’t make them stick?
