Human rights application alleging age discrimination and reprisal dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.
The applicant, a taxicab driver, alleged discrimination on the basis of age and reprisal against the respondents.
He claimed he was charged a higher daily rate for his taxicab than other drivers and faced discipline when questioning authority.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found no evidence linking the differential fee to the applicant's age, noting the fee change was related to shift changeover times.
Furthermore, the applicant failed to show he had claimed or attempted to enforce a right under the Code prior to the alleged reprisal.
The application was dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.
