The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal on the basis of family status after being terminated following his return from parental leave.
The respondents brought preliminary requests to dismiss the application for delay, for summary hearing, and to remove one respondent for lack of an employment relationship.
The applicant sought to amend his application to add grounds of marital status and association with a person identified by a Code-ground.
The Tribunal denied the respondents' requests to dismiss and remove the party, allowed the applicant to add the ground of marital status, but denied the addition of the association ground.
A preliminary hearing was ordered to determine if the application should be dismissed under section 45.1 of the Code due to a prior Employment Standards Act decision.
