The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal in employment on the basis of disability.
The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Defer because the applicant had three outstanding workplace grievances based on the same facts and issues.
The applicant opposed deferral, citing delay and personal hardship, while the respondents and the applicant's union supported deferral.
The Tribunal found significant overlap between the application and the grievances, which were proceeding to mediation and arbitration.
To avoid concurrent proceedings and inconsistent findings, the Tribunal ordered the deferral of the application pending the conclusion of the grievance processes.
