===Are there time limits for filing a human rights complaint or suing?===  
Yes, there are time limits in both cases. You have six months from when the discrimination occurs to file a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal. If you wait longer than six months, your complaint may still be accepted if the tribunal believes it is in the public interest to accept it and no party will be prejudiced because of the delay. There are also time limits for suing in court — see our information on [[What is Small Claims Court? (Script 165)|starting a lawsuit (no. 165)]] for details.
