Human rights application deferred pending completion of concurrent Ministry of Labour proceeding regarding the same termination.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of sex, gender identity, and record of offences.
The applicant had also filed a concurrent claim with the Ministry of Labour under the Employment Standards Act regarding her termination.
The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Defer the application pending the resolution of the Ministry of Labour proceeding.
Despite the applicant's objections regarding financial hardship, the Tribunal deferred the application to avoid the risk of inconsistent findings, noting the substantial factual overlap between the two proceedings.
