HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 2, 2015

Human rights application dismissed at preliminary stage for lack of jurisdiction and adjudicative immunity.

The applicant filed a human rights application against her former spouse, the Children's Aid Society of Toronto, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Ontario Judicial Council, and the Child and Family Services Review Board, alleging discrimination and reprisal stemming from a custody dispute and child protection proceedings.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss.

The Tribunal dismissed the application against the former spouse as personal relationships are not covered by the Code.

The applications against the CFSRB and the Superior Court were dismissed due to adjudicative immunity.

The applications against the remaining respondents were dismissed for failing to identify specific acts of discrimination connected to protected grounds under the Code.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 2, 2015

Tribunal granted request to amend human rights application but denied extension for document disclosure.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability by the respondent police service.

In this interim decision, the Tribunal addressed three procedural requests.

First, the Tribunal granted the applicant's request to amend his application to include a subsequent incident involving the suspension of his Personal Access Code, finding the amendment had a reasonable prospect of success.

Second, the Tribunal denied the applicant's request to extend the deadline for document disclosure pending a freedom of information request, noting the applicant should instead use the Tribunal's production request process.

Finally, the Tribunal removed the applicant's union as an affected party, as the union confirmed it was not representing him.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 2, 2015

Human rights application dismissed as abandoned after deceased applicant's estate failed to provide trustee certificate.

The applicant filed a human rights application but subsequently passed away.

The Tribunal directed the applicant's estate to provide a certificate of appointment of estate trustee in order to proceed.

The application was dismissed as abandoned.

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 2, 2015

Tribunal declined to defer human rights application where parallel grievances were held in abeyance.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability and failure to accommodate by the respondent employer.

The applicant had also filed several grievances raising substantially the same facts and issues.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Defer the application pending the resolution of the grievances.

The applicant opposed deferral, while the respondent supported it but noted the grievances were being held in abeyance until the applicant was medically able to return to work.

The Tribunal declined to defer the application, finding that because the grievances were in abeyance with no indication of when they would proceed, there was no risk of concurrent proceedings or inconsistent decisions.

Monica Furac v. Ontario (Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services), 2015 HRTO 1169

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 1, 2015

Human rights application against CFSRB dismissed for lack of jurisdiction due to adjudicative immunity.

The applicant filed a human rights application against the Children's Aid Society of Toronto and the Child and Family Services Review Board (CFSRB).

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the application against the CFSRB on the basis of adjudicative immunity.

The applicant's submissions did not address this issue.

The Tribunal found that the CFSRB is a quasi-judicial decision-maker and its decision that the applicant's complaint was not eligible for review is protected by adjudicative immunity.

The application against the CFSRB was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, while the application against the Children's Aid Society of Toronto was directed to proceed to a summary hearing.

Symonik v. Children’s Aid Society of Toronto, 2015 HRTO 1163

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 31, 2015

Tribunal deems non-responding corporate respondent to have accepted allegations and orders applicant to provide valid address for another.

The applicant filed a human rights application against three corporate respondents.

One respondent, Lyr Group, failed to file a response despite being served and cautioned by the Tribunal.

The Tribunal deemed Lyr Group to have accepted all allegations and waived its right to further notice.

Another respondent, Quick Jobs Ltd., could not be successfully served at the addresses provided.

The Tribunal ordered the applicant to provide a valid address for Quick Jobs Ltd. within 14 days, failing which the application against it may be dismissed.

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 27, 2015

Motion to dismiss human rights application under s. 45.1 denied; WSIB proceeding did not address Code violations.

The respondent requested the dismissal of a human rights application under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing that the substance of the application had been appropriately dealt with in a WSIB proceeding.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the WSIB did not apply the Code or provide human rights remedies, making it unfair to dismiss the application.

The Tribunal also granted the applicant's request to amend the application to seek lost wages, but denied his request for an interim remedy of weekly earnings.

The respondent's request for early document disclosure was denied as premature.

Chodha v. 1352866 Ontario Inc. o/a Times Kitchen and Bath, 2015 HRTO 1139

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 26, 2015

Reconsideration of human rights application alleging telepathic stalking by physician denied for lack of new evidence.

The applicant sought reconsideration of a decision dismissing her human rights application, which alleged that a physician was reprising against her through telepathic stalking or cyberstalking after she filed a complaint with the College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The Tribunal denied the request for reconsideration, finding that the applicant had not provided any new facts or evidence that could potentially be determinative of the case or establish that the physician was retaliating against her.

Smith v. Child and Adolescent Mental Health Care, 2015 HRTO 1129

Tribunal finds compliance with Hague Service Convention not required for service on foreign respondents.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination based on sex arising from the respondents' gender verification and anti-doping policies.

The foreign respondents, the Union Cycliste Internationale and the International Olympic Committee, argued that they were not validly served because the Application was not served in accordance with the Hague Service Convention.

The Tribunal held that Ontario law does not require compliance with the Hague Service Convention in Tribunal proceedings, and that the respondents had received effective legal notice through the Tribunal's regular methods of transmission.

Worley v. Ontario Cycling Association, 2015 HRTO 1135

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 25, 2015

Anonymization request granted due to potential stigma associated with applicant's mental disabilities.

The applicant requested that her name be anonymized in the style of cause due to the highly sensitive health information likely to be disclosed in the proceeding.

The respondent did not respond to the request.

The Tribunal granted the request, finding that anonymization was appropriate given the potential stigma associated with the applicant's mental disabilities.

Requests to defer human rights application and extend time to file response denied.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging sex and disability discrimination, sexual solicitation, and reprisal against the respondents.

The individual respondent requested a continued deferral of the application, arguing a related Special Investigations Unit (SIU) investigation was ongoing.

The organizational respondent requested an extension of time to file its response until after its internal investigation concluded.

The Tribunal denied the individual respondent's request as the SIU investigation had concluded.

The Tribunal also denied the organizational respondent's request for a further extension, finding no concurrent proceeding justified a deferral and that it had already had ample time to investigate.

The respondents were ordered to file their responses within 35 days.

Application re-activated, summary hearing directed, and personal respondents removed as they acted within employment scope.

The applicant requested to re-activate his human rights application after it was deferred pending a Social Benefit Tribunal decision.

The respondents requested a summary hearing and the removal of three personal respondents.

The Tribunal granted the request to re-activate the application and directed a summary hearing.

The Tribunal also removed the personal respondents, finding no compelling reason to continue the proceeding against them personally as they were acting within the scope of their employment in administering the Ontario Disability Support Program.

Request to remove personal respondents granted as alleged conduct occurred within scope of employment.

The respondents brought a Request for Order During Proceedings to remove the named personal respondents from the human rights application.

The applicant consented to the removal of all personal respondents except for one former executive.

Applying the Persaud factors, the Tribunal found that the remaining personal respondent's alleged conduct occurred within the scope of her employment duties, the corporate respondent was capable of responding to the allegations, and there was no compelling reason to retain her as a party.

The request was granted and all personal respondents were removed.

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 13, 2015

Deferral request denied; WSIB proceeding regarding compensability did not sufficiently overlap with human rights accommodation issues.

The respondent requested that the Tribunal defer consideration of the human rights application pending the outcome of the applicant's WSIB appeal regarding traumatic mental stress.

The Tribunal denied the deferral request, finding that the issues before the WSIB (whether the applicant met criteria for compensable traumatic mental stress) did not sufficiently overlap with the human rights issues (whether the respondent failed to accommodate the applicant's disability-related needs and subjected him to discriminatory comments).

Loro v. Complex Services Inc., 2015 HRTO 1081

Robert Bickle

1 case2015–2015

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 13, 2015

Request to re-activate deferred human rights application denied due to overlapping issues with pending WSIAT appeal.

The applicant requested to re-activate her human rights application, which had been deferred pending the outcome of her Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT) appeal.

She argued that the WSIAT appeal was facing significant delays.

The respondent opposed the request, citing overlapping issues and the risk of parallel proceedings.

The Tribunal denied the request to re-activate, finding that despite the delay, there remained a significant overlap in the factual and legal issues regarding whether the applicant had a disability requiring accommodation at the time of her termination.

The application remains deferred.

Paradis v. Teppen Corporation, 2015 HRTO 1078

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 12, 2015

Deferral request denied; human rights application regarding accommodation distinct from WSIB appeal for lost earnings.

The respondent requested that the Tribunal defer consideration of the human rights application pending the outcome of the applicant's WSIB appeal regarding loss of earnings benefits.

The Tribunal denied the deferral request, finding insufficient overlap of facts or issues between the WSIB appeal and the human rights application, which alleged a failure to accommodate during a return-to-work training program.

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 10, 2015

Applicant ordered to produce complete clinical notes and records of treating psychiatrist.

In an application alleging discrimination based on disability, the respondent requested an order compelling the applicant to produce the complete clinical notes and records of his treating psychiatrist.

The Tribunal had previously issued a Case Assessment Direction requiring this production.

The Tribunal ordered the applicant to produce the complete clinical notes and records within 14 days, noting their arguable relevance to the issues raised in the application.

A previous production order against the respondent's medical provider was deemed moot.

Eugene Kowalsky v. Toronto Transit Commission, 2015 HRTO 1063

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 5, 2015

Human rights application stayed due to corporate respondent's bankruptcy.

The applicant filed a human rights application seeking monetary compensation from the respondent.

The Tribunal received notice that the respondent had been placed into receivership and declared bankrupt.

The Tribunal held that the application is stayed pursuant to section 69 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, and directed the applicant to advise whether she intends to seek the Receiver's consent or a court order to lift the stay.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 27, 2015

Employer's request to add union as respondent denied where applicant made no allegations against union.

The respondent employer brought a Request for Order During Proceedings to add the applicant's union, the United Steelworkers, as a respondent, alleging the union prevented the implementation of a reasonable accommodation.

The applicant opposed the request, stating she made no allegations against the union.

Applying the Smyth factors, the Tribunal denied the request, finding no allegations against the union by the applicant, noting the respondent could still call evidence regarding the union's actions, and concluding that adding the union at an advanced stage would cause undue delay.

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 27, 2015

Human rights application deferred pending completion of ongoing union grievance and WSIB appeals.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability following a workplace injury, claiming the respondent failed to accommodate him and terminated his employment.

The respondent requested that the application be dismissed or deferred due to an ongoing union grievance and ongoing appeals before the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).

The Tribunal denied the request to dismiss under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code because the parallel proceedings were not yet completed.

However, the Tribunal granted the request to defer the application, finding a significant overlap of facts and issues between the application, the grievance, and the WSIB appeals.

The application was deferred pending the completion of the grievance and WSIB proceedings.
