Common confusion points
Confusing 'Notice of Motion' with an initial complaint form; this is a formal court filing.
Believing that filling out the form starts legal action immediately; it must be properly filed and served.
Assuming the courts will resolve the dispute without evidence; detailed proof of discrimination is mandatory.
Mistaking Section 28 for general anti-discrimination law; the specific Act must be cited correctly.
