The applicant alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of disability (gambling addiction).
The respondents requested early dismissal under section 45.1 of the Code, arguing that a Board of Referees decision denying regular Employment Insurance benefits due to misconduct appropriately dealt with the substance of the application.
The Tribunal dismissed the request, finding the EI proceeding did not assess the human rights issues, such as the duty to accommodate.
The Tribunal granted the respondents' request to remove the six personal respondents, as the organizational respondent assumed liability and no compelling reason existed to continue against the individuals.
