HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioNov 28, 2016

Human rights application against union dismissed as employer, not union, refused support person's attendance.

The applicant alleged that his union discriminated against him on the basis of his cognitive disability by failing to accommodate his need for his brother to act as a support person and representative.

The Tribunal found that it was the employer, not the union, who refused to allow the brother to attend a grievance meeting.

Furthermore, the union's initial legal position in an OLRB proceeding challenging the brother's standing was protected by absolute privilege and was ultimately not pursued.

The application was dismissed.

Bonnici v. United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 1000A, 2016 HRTO 1516

Tribunal partially grants request for particulars, ordering clarification on comparators and compensation sought.

The respondent requested detailed particulars regarding the applicant's allegations of discrimination during lease expense negotiations.

The applicant opposed the request, arguing the pleadings were sufficient and the request resembled civil discovery.

The Tribunal found that most of the requested particulars could be answered after standard disclosure or during cross-examination.

However, the Tribunal ordered the applicant to provide specific particulars regarding the nature of its challenge to the Leasing Guidelines, the identity of comparator clinics, and the exact compensation sought.

Reconsideration granted where applicant's husband mistakenly filed estate information with wrong agency.

The applicant's husband filed a Request for Reconsideration of a decision dismissing the human rights application as abandoned following the applicant's death.

The husband explained he mistakenly filed required information with an ombudservice instead of the Tribunal.

The Tribunal found that the husband did not intend to abandon the application and granted the reconsideration request, ordering him to advise whether he has a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee.

Request to amend human rights application to include $40,000 in general damages granted.

The applicant filed a Request for Order During Proceedings to amend the remedy sought in her human rights application to include $40,000 in general damages.

The respondent did not respond to the request.

The Tribunal granted the request to amend, noting that such amendments are regularly granted up to the date of the hearing, without prejudice to the respondent's position on the appropriateness of the remedy.

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioNov 7, 2016

Tribunal resolves preliminary issues, denying summary hearing and early production while allowing application amendment.

The Tribunal issued an interim decision addressing several preliminary issues in a human rights application.

On consent, the personal respondents were removed from the application.

The respondent's request for a summary hearing was denied because the issues required a hearing on the merits to resolve conflicting evidence.

The applicant was granted permission to amend her application, as the proceeding was at an early stage and there was no prejudice to the respondent.

Finally, the respondent's request for early production of documents was denied as premature, as the Notice of Hearing had not yet been issued and no exceptional circumstances were established.

De Francesca v. Centric Investigation Services Inc., 2016 HRTO 1437

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioNov 3, 2016

Request to remove personal respondents denied at preliminary stage due to concerns about corporate respondent's viability.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability, specifically a failure to accommodate access to a Service Ontario location.

The respondents requested the removal of the two owners of the corporate respondent as personal respondents.

Applying the Persaud factors, the Tribunal noted that the corporate respondent's location was up for lease, raising concerns about its ability to remedy any potential Code infringement.

Consequently, the Tribunal denied the request to remove the personal respondents at this preliminary stage, deferring the issue to the adjudicator hearing the merits.

Benoit v. Soler D & V Licensing Inc., 2016 HRTO 1429

Heather Cameron

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioNov 3, 2016

Human rights application dismissed for delay; ignorance of rights does not constitute good faith.

The applicant filed a human rights application more than a year after the last alleged incident of discrimination.

The respondents requested that the application be dismissed for delay and lack of jurisdiction.

The applicant argued the delay was due to his lack of knowledge about his rights under the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal found that ignorance of the law without a reasonable explanation for failing to make timely inquiries does not constitute good faith.

The application was dismissed as untimely.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioNov 1, 2016

Tribunal resolves multiple preliminary issues including application amendment, witness exclusion, and expert witness admissibility.

In an interim decision, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario addressed several preliminary issues raised by the parties.

The Tribunal granted the applicant's request to amend her application to add further reprisal allegations.

The Tribunal denied the respondents' request to bifurcate the hearing between liability and remedy.

The Tribunal also denied the applicant's requests to exclude the respondents' instructing client and another officer from the hearing room, subject to conditions.

The respondents' request to dismiss certain allegations and their objection to the applicant's expert witness were denied, while they were granted an extension to call their own expert witness.

McWilliam v. Toronto Police Services Board, 2016 HRTO 1413

M. Elizabeth Keenan

3 cases2016–2016

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 26, 2016

Request to remove personal respondent denied due to potential personal liability for alleged harassment.

The respondents requested the removal of the personal respondent from a human rights application alleging harassment and discrimination.

The Tribunal applied the Persaud factors and found that there was an issue as to whether the corporate respondent would be vicariously liable for the alleged harassment under s. 46.3(1) of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal concluded that a remedy might be sought against the personal respondent even if the corporate respondent acknowledged vicarious liability, and therefore denied the request to remove him.

Knauth v. Toronto Community Housing Corporation, 2016 HRTO 1390

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 25, 2016

Application alleging age discrimination in school bus routing dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

The applicant's litigation guardian filed an application alleging age discrimination regarding the respondents' school bus routing system, which resulted in the applicant spending more time on the bus in the afternoon.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss because the allegations did not identify specific acts of discrimination under the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding it plain and obvious that the claim related to general unfairness and arbitrariness rather than differential treatment based on age, and therefore fell outside its jurisdiction.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 25, 2016

Tribunal affirms concurrent jurisdiction over unionized employee's human rights claims and denies motion to dismiss.

The respondent employer brought a request to dismiss or defer the applicant's human rights application.

The respondent argued that a labour arbitrator had exclusive jurisdiction over the unionized employee's claims, that the claims were already settled through the grievance process, or that the matter should be deferred pending WSIB appeals.

The Tribunal dismissed the requests, finding that it has concurrent jurisdiction with labour arbitrators over human rights claims by unionized employees, that the applicant had not voluntarily agreed to the grievance settlements, and that there were no pending WSIB appeals.

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 14, 2016

Motion to dismiss for failure to produce documents denied; applicant ordered to obtain records within her control.

The respondent requested that the human rights application be dismissed as an abuse of process due to the applicant's failure to produce medical and income records as previously ordered.

The applicant claimed she did not have the documents in her possession.

The Tribunal held that a production order requires a party to produce documents reasonably within their control, and that the requested documents (such as EI and tax records) were within the applicant's control.

The Tribunal declined to dismiss the application at this stage but ordered the applicant to produce the documents or specifically explain her efforts to obtain them, noting that unexplained failure could lead to an adverse inference or amount to an abuse of process.

Caldwell v. Windigo Catering Limited Partnership, 2016 HRTO 1343

Susanne Sviergula

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 14, 2016

Human rights application dismissed against opposing counsel as there is no service relationship under the Code.

The applicant filed a human rights application against several respondents, including the law firm representing the condominium corporation.

The law firm requested to be removed as a respondent, arguing there was no service relationship between it and the applicant.

The Tribunal agreed, finding that a lawyer representing an opposing party does not provide a service to the applicant within the meaning of the Human Rights Code.

The application was dismissed as against the law firm.

Davidson v. Condominium Management Group, 2016 HRTO 1332

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 13, 2016

Human rights application dismissed as abandoned following applicant's death and estate's failure to provide authorization.

The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination under the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal had previously deferred consideration of the application pending the conclusion of another proceeding.

The applicant subsequently passed away.

The Tribunal requested that the applicant's estate provide a certificate of appointment of estate trustee to authorize someone to act on its behalf.

When no one provided the required information by the extended deadline, the Tribunal dismissed the application as abandoned.

Lena Mak v. Manulife Financial, 2016 HRTO 1326

David Gourlay

34 cases2010–2017

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 12, 2016

Audio-recordings of subsequent 911 calls ruled admissible in human rights claim against police.

The applicant alleged that the respondent discriminated against him based on race and colour when police officers responded to a noise complaint about his singing.

In advance of the hearing, the respondent objected to the admissibility of audio-recordings of 911 calls made by the applicant two years later, arguing they were irrelevant.

The Tribunal ruled the recordings admissible, finding they may have some relevance to the applicant's contention that race is a factor in how police deal with noise complaints, with the weight to be determined at the hearing.

The Tribunal also directed the respondent to bring unredacted copies of previously produced audio-recordings and memobook notes to the hearing to justify any redactions.

Haye v. Toronto Police Services Board, 2016 HRTO 1314

Brenda Culbert

32 cases2011–2017

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 23, 2016

Reconsideration of interim decision dismissing claims against international sports bodies for lack of jurisdiction denied.

The applicant sought reconsideration of an interim decision that dismissed her human rights application against the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for lack of jurisdiction, and dismissed her allegations regarding the Stockholm Consensus as untimely.

The applicant argued the adjudicator erred by failing to apply the 'plain and obvious' test, deciding jurisdictional issues prematurely, and taking a narrow approach to systemic discrimination.

The Tribunal denied the reconsideration request, finding that the interim decision did not conflict with established jurisprudence and that no other factors outweighed the public interest in the finality of Tribunal decisions.

Worley v. Ontario Cycling Association, 2016 HRTO 1246

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 23, 2016

Jurisdictional challenge dismissed after respondent failed to file materials or attend preliminary hearing.

The respondent requested that the human rights application be dismissed on the basis that its operations fall under federal jurisdiction.

The Tribunal scheduled a preliminary hearing by teleconference and directed the respondent to file supporting materials.

The respondent failed to file any materials, communicate with the Tribunal, or attend the preliminary hearing.

Consequently, the Tribunal dismissed the jurisdictional challenge, ordered the matter to proceed to a merits hearing, and warned the respondent that further failures to comply with Tribunal directions would be treated as an abuse of process.

Human rights application against teachers' college dismissed as untimely and having no reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant, a teacher, filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal by the Ontario College of Teachers spanning an 11-year period.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application should be dismissed.

The Tribunal dismissed all allegations relating to incidents prior to 2014 as untimely, finding they did not form a series of incidents with later events.

The remaining allegations concerning a 2014 reprimand were dismissed as having no reasonable prospect of success, primarily because the content of the reprimand was inadmissible in civil proceedings under section 48(3) of the Ontario College of Teachers Act.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 19, 2016

Application dismissed for lack of jurisdiction as the respondent railway falls under federal jurisdiction.

The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination in employment because of disability.

The respondent railway company sought dismissal on the basis that its operations fall under federal jurisdiction.

The Tribunal found that although the respondent operates an intraprovincial short line railway, it is owned by a company that operates federally-regulated railways.

By operation of s. 88(3) of the Canada Transportation Act and s. 92(10)(c) of the Constitution Act, 1867, the respondent is declared to be a work for the general advantage of Canada.

The Application was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Applicant's request for her doctor to testify by teleconference granted as credibility not in issue.

The applicant requested that her doctor be permitted to testify by teleconference because the doctor now lives in Whitehorse.

The respondent did not respond to the request.

The Tribunal granted the request, noting that such requests are frequently granted when credibility is unlikely to be an issue.
