Robin Blencoe

Robin Kyle Blencoe (born November 12, 1947) was a politician in British Columbia, Canada.

He was forced out of office due to a number of sexual harassment complaints,[3] which resulted in Blencoe v. British Columbia (Human Rights Commission),[4] a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on the scope of section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and on the administrative law principle of natural justice.

During this time Blencoe was subjected to vast media coverage that led to the end of his political career, and contributed to his and his family's social and psychological hardship.

The Supreme Court of Canada rejected Blencoe's argument that the delay warranted a stay of the human rights complaint.

The Tribunal issued a declaration that Mr. Blencoe not engage in similar activity in the future and ordered that he pay $5000 to the former employee.
