Complainants should be able to participate when evidence is being reviewed, access expert findings, and propose their own evidence. Courts must address all arguments, including those provided by the CEC and experts, procedural omissions and motions for new evidence. The CEC and court decisions should be fully reasoned and indicate available remedies.
