title: AIDS organizations denied leave to intervene in insurance case.
abstract: In October 1999, the BC Court of Appeal denied the request of the Canadian AIDS Society (CAS) and the BC Persons with AIDS Society (BCPWA) to intervene in the appellate hearing of a case raising questions about the responsibilities of employers and employees to preserve entitlement to life insurance coverage. In this case, the issue of the mental capacity of a man with AIDS-related dementia was a key issue.
