HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJan 8, 2014

Human rights application deferred pending final outcome of overlapping WSIB proceeding regarding workplace injury and termination.

The respondent requested that the human rights application be dismissed or deferred pending the outcome of an ongoing WSIB proceeding regarding the applicant's workplace injury and termination.

The Tribunal denied the request to dismiss under s. 45.1 of the Code because the WSIB proceeding was still ongoing.

However, applying the Calabria factors, the Tribunal found significant overlap between the issues in the two proceedings and deferred the application until a WSIB Appeals Resolution Officer issues a final decision.

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJan 8, 2014

Third-party production of call detail records ordered to establish timing of text messages between parties.

The applicant in a human rights proceeding alleging family status discrimination sought a third-party production order for call detail records from Bell Canada to prove he was in contact with his employer during his absence.

The respondent opposed the request, arguing the records were not relevant and raised privacy concerns.

The Tribunal granted the request, finding the records arguably relevant to establishing the timing of communications.

The Tribunal ordered the applicant to pay Bell Canada's $250 production cost and adjourned the hearing to allow time for the records to be produced.

Robert Bowden v. Jackson Trademark Services Inc., 2014 HRTO 26

Tribunal allows amendment of human rights application and adds three school administrators as personal respondents.

The applicant, a student with a learning disability who identifies as black, filed a human rights application alleging discrimination by the respondent school board.

In this interim decision, the Tribunal addressed the applicant's requests to amend the application, add nine school board employees as personal respondents, and order document production.

The Tribunal granted the request to amend the application to include recent allegations of reprisal and discrimination.

Applying the Smyth and Persaud tests, the Tribunal allowed three individuals (a superintendent, a principal, and a vice-principal) to be added as personal respondents because their alleged conduct in targeting the applicant for unjust discipline formed a central issue in the case.

The request to add the other six individuals was denied.

The document production request was dismissed as premature.

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 20, 2013

Tribunal grants applicant's request to add reprisal allegation and denies respondents' request for summary dismissal.

The applicant, a municipal councillor and director of the respondent corporation, alleged discrimination based on family status regarding the scheduling of board meetings.

She sought to amend her application to add an allegation of reprisal, claiming the personal respondent made media statements about her attendance after she filed the application.

The respondents opposed the amendment and requested summary dismissal, arguing there was no employment relationship and no factual basis for the claims.

The Tribunal granted the request to amend, finding it related to post-application events and would not cause prejudice.

The Tribunal denied the respondents' request for summary dismissal, noting that the factual disputes required a full hearing on the merits.

Wing v. Niagara Falls Hydro Holding Corporation, 2013 HRTO 2109

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 19, 2013

Tribunal finds disability was a factor in termination where employee was fired shortly after discussing injury.

The applicant alleged that her employment was terminated because of her disability (a shoulder injury) contrary to the Human Rights Code.

The respondent claimed she was terminated because she was not a 'good fit' and lacked commitment to her warehouse position.

The Tribunal found that the timing of the termination—occurring just an hour and a half after the applicant discussed her injury and restrictions with management—raised a strong inference of discrimination.

The Tribunal concluded that the respondent failed to provide a credible, non-discriminatory explanation for the sudden termination, establishing that the applicant's disability was a factor in her dismissal.

The Tribunal remained seized of the matter to determine the appropriate remedy.

Lisa Trites v. New Directions Aromatics Inc., 2013 HRTO 2102

Holly Walbourne

18 cases2013–2019

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 18, 2013

Most discrimination and reprisal claims dismissed at summary hearing; medication denial and racial slur claims proceed.

The applicant alleged that the respondent police services board discriminated against him on the basis of disability and creed, and reprised against him.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the allegations had a reasonable prospect of success.

The Tribunal dismissed most of the allegations, including claims of reprisal and Charter violations, for lack of jurisdiction or lack of evidence connecting the conduct to Code grounds.

However, the Tribunal allowed the allegations regarding the denial of medication while in custody and the use of a racial slur by an officer to proceed to mediation.

Allen Rosario v. Thunder Bay Police Services Board, 2013 HRTO 2094

David A. Gourlay

37 cases2010–2026

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 17, 2013

Human rights application against police officer dismissed for no reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant alleged that the respondent police officer discriminated against her mother because of disability and reprised against her contrary to the Human Rights Code.

The allegations arose after the applicant disconnected her mother's feeding tube at a long-term care home, leading the home to call the police, who then escorted the applicant off the property.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing and dismissed the application, finding no reasonable prospect of success as the applicant herself was not disabled and there was no evidence of reprisal for claiming Code rights.

He v. Sergeant Gowan, 2013 HRTO 2081

Greg Bullen

50 cases2009–2019

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 17, 2013

Human rights application against WSIB dismissed at summary hearing for no reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant alleged discrimination and reprisal by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) regarding the handling of his benefits following a workplace injury.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.

The Tribunal found that the allegations primarily concerned the WSIB's application of its own rules and policies, which does not amount to a Code violation.

The application was dismissed as having no reasonable prospect of success.

Fiordimondo v. Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, 2013 HRTO 2086

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 17, 2013

Office of the Employer Adviser granted intervener status to make legal submissions on section 45.1.

The Office of the Employer Adviser (OEA) requested to intervene in a human rights application to make submissions on whether WSIB case managers engage in 'proceedings' within the meaning of section 45.1 of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal granted the OEA's request to intervene, limiting its participation to making legal submissions on the interpretation of section 45.1 and the application of doctrines such as issue estoppel and abuse of process.

Clunis v. Rimac Fabricators aka Rimac Metal Curving Specialists, 2013 HRTO 2083

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 16, 2013

Application against union dismissed at summary hearing for lacking reasonable prospect of success regarding sex discrimination.

The applicant, a police sergeant, alleged discrimination in employment by the Toronto Police Services Board and the Toronto Police Association.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application against the union had a reasonable prospect of success.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to point to sufficient evidence connecting the union's alleged failure to adequately represent her with her sex.

The application against the union was dismissed.

The Tribunal denied the employer's request to dismiss the application based on a civil claim, as the civil claim had been administratively dismissed without a final determination on the merits.

Nassis v. Toronto Police Services Board, 2013 HRTO 2076

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 13, 2013

Human rights application dismissed as abandoned due to applicant's failure to comply with pre-hearing disclosure obligations.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination based on age and ethnic origin.

The applicant failed to comply with pre-hearing disclosure obligations under the Tribunal's Rules of Procedure.

Despite a Case Assessment Direction ordering immediate compliance and warning of potential dismissal, the applicant did not file the required materials or communicate with the Tribunal.

The respondents filed a Request for Order During Proceedings seeking dismissal.

The Tribunal found the applicant had notice of the requirements and dismissed the application as abandoned due to non-compliance.

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 10, 2013

Human rights application alleging racial discrimination and reprisal in the workplace dismissed for lack of evidence.

The applicant, an armoured guard of South-Asian descent, alleged that his employer and a supervisor discriminated against him based on race and ethnic origin, and reprised against him for raising human rights concerns.

The allegations centered on a December 2010 incident where the supervisor told him to stop chatting, and a January 2011 incident where the supervisor accused him of urinating on a client's washroom floor.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to establish a prima facie case of discrimination, as there was insufficient evidence to infer that the supervisor's actions were tainted by racial bias.

The reprisal claims were also dismissed, as the Tribunal found no intention to retaliate in the issuance of a verbal warning or in a manager's informal conversation with the applicant.

Saha v. Garda Inc., 2013 HRTO 2050

Patricia G. Murray

35 cases1990–2017

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 5, 2013

Human rights application deferred pending civil action for false arrest arising from the same incident.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination based on race after a school custodian called the police and he was arrested for suspected theft.

The applicant also commenced a civil action against the Police Services Board for false imprisonment, assault, and battery.

The Police Services Board requested that the Tribunal dismiss the application under s. 34(11) of the Human Rights Code or defer it pending the civil action.

The Tribunal denied the request to dismiss because the civil claim did not seek a remedy for a Code infringement.

However, the Tribunal granted the request to defer the application due to significant factual overlap with the civil proceeding.

Goffe v. Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, 2013 HRTO 2014

Ronald Minken

3 cases2013–2019

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 5, 2013

Tribunal grants applicant's request to amend human rights application but denies production of unavailable text messages.

The applicant in a human rights proceeding requested to amend his application to add marital status as a ground of discrimination and to increase the damages sought.

He also sought production of text messages and certain invoices from the respondent.

The Tribunal granted the requests to amend the application, finding no prejudice or delay.

The Tribunal denied the request for production of text messages as the respondent no longer possessed them, and denied the request for invoices outside the period for which the respondent claimed undue hardship.

Robert Bowden v. Jackson Trademark Services Inc., 2013 HRTO 2020

Gerald J. Griffiths

4 cases2013–2018

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 5, 2013

Request to re-activate deferred application denied as matter falls under federal jurisdiction.

The applicant requested to re-activate his deferred human rights application after the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) dismissed his identical complaint.

The Tribunal had previously deferred the application on the condition that it could be re-activated if the CHRC declined jurisdiction on federal/provincial grounds.

Because the CHRC accepted jurisdiction and dismissed the complaint on its merits, the Tribunal found it had no jurisdiction over the matter.

The request to re-activate was denied and the application was dismissed.

McLennon v. Toronto Port Authority, 2013 HRTO 2017

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 5, 2013

Request to dismiss human rights application denied as parallel civil claim did not seek Code remedies.

The respondents requested the dismissal of a human rights application under s. 34(11) of the Human Rights Code, arguing that the applicant had commenced a parallel civil proceeding.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the civil claim for breach of contract, copyright infringement, and defamation did not seek a remedy for an alleged Code infringement.

However, the Tribunal directed the parties to provide submissions on whether the application should be deferred pending the completion of the civil proceeding.

Armstrong v. Nicholson Legal Services, 2013 HRTO 2012

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 4, 2013

Human rights application dismissed as abandoned after applicant failed to respond to Notice of Intent to Dismiss.

The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability regarding the termination of her employment.

The respondent requested dismissal, providing a full and final release signed by the applicant.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss, to which the applicant failed to respond.

Consequently, the Tribunal deemed the application abandoned and dismissed it.

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 3, 2013

Interim remedy for standard lighting in fitness classes denied as it would grant final relief prematurely.

The applicant alleged discrimination based on disability, claiming the respondent failed to accommodate her by providing inadequate lighting in Zumba classes.

She requested an interim remedy requiring the respondent to use standard lighting, refrain from using non-standard lighting, and ensure barrier-free access.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the balance of harm or convenience did not favour granting the interim remedy, as it would essentially grant the final remedy sought without a hearing on the merits, and the applicant failed to demonstrate that she would suffer the alleged harm if the remedy was not granted.

Remtulla v. The Athletic Club (Trainyards) Inc., 2013 HRTO 2001

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 2, 2013

Human rights application dismissed as abandoned after applicant failed to respond to Notice of Intent to Dismiss.

The applicant filed an application under section 34 of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss (NOID) on the basis that the application appeared to be outside its jurisdiction.

The applicant failed to respond to the NOID within the required timeframe.

Consequently, the Tribunal deemed the application abandoned and dismissed it.

Debra Gray v. Maple Villa Long Term Care Centre, 2013 HRTO 1993

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 2, 2013

Human rights application deferred pending completion of concurrent union grievance arbitration.

The applicant filed a human rights application that overlapped substantially with an ongoing union grievance that had been referred to arbitration.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Defer, to which neither party responded.

Applying its general practice of deferring to concurrent grievance proceedings where human rights issues can be addressed, the Tribunal deferred the application pending the conclusion of the grievance process.
