HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 14, 2016

Human rights application re-activated after substantive conclusion of related WSIAT appeal.

The applicant requested to re-activate his human rights application, which had been deferred pending the conclusion of a WSIAT proceeding.

The WSIAT allowed the applicant's appeal regarding his workplace injury, though the precise calculation of benefits remained pending.

The respondents opposed re-activation until the benefits were calculated and also requested production of the WSIAT hearing documents.

The Tribunal granted the request to re-activate, finding the substantive WSIAT issues had concluded, eliminating the risk of inconsistent findings.

The Tribunal denied the respondents' document production request as premature and ordered the applicant to provide information regarding his bankruptcy status.

Respondent deemed to have accepted allegations and waived participation rights after failing to file a Response.

The applicant filed an Application alleging that the respondent breached a settlement agreement.

The respondent failed to file a Response despite receiving the Notice of Application and a further direction from the Tribunal warning of the consequences of not responding.

The Tribunal applied Rule 5.5 of its Rules of Procedure and deemed the respondent to have accepted all allegations in the Application and waived all rights to notice or participation in the proceedings.

The applicant was directed to provide further clarification regarding the alleged breach and the remedy sought.

The applicant filed a human rights application against Peel Regional Police, Windsor Police Services, and Toronto-Dominion Bank.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the application against the bank on the basis of jurisdiction.

The application against Toronto-Dominion Bank was dismissed, while the application against the other respondents was allowed to proceed.

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 13, 2016

Human rights application deferred pending resolution of related Small Claims Court action regarding disability benefits.

The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination with respect to the denial of short-term disability benefits, family status accommodation, and creed.

The respondents requested a deferral of the application because the applicant had previously commenced a Small Claims Court action for breach of contract regarding the same denial of disability benefits.

The Tribunal granted the deferral, finding that the overlap in factual and legal issues and the more advanced stage of the civil proceeding weighed in favour of deferring the human rights application to avoid inconsistent decisions.

Alkenbrack v. Lowe’s Canada, 2016 HRTO 1198

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 7, 2016

Reconsideration denied; political beliefs do not constitute a creed under the Human Rights Code.

The applicant, a candidate for the 'None of the Above Party of Ontario', sought reconsideration of a decision dismissing his human rights application.

He had alleged discrimination based on creed after being excluded from two candidate debates.

The Tribunal had dismissed the application, finding that political beliefs do not constitute a 'creed' under the Human Rights Code and that the Tribunal lacks jurisdiction over Charter claims.

On reconsideration, the Tribunal found no new facts, errors of law, or conflict with established jurisprudence to justify overturning the original decision.

The request for reconsideration was denied.

Vezina v. Elections Ontario, 2016 HRTO 1176

K.C. Wysynski

11 cases2014–2018

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 31, 2016

Human rights application dismissed because the respondent inter-provincial transportation company falls under federal jurisdiction.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination by her employer, an inter-provincial transportation company.

The respondent requested dismissal on the basis that it is a federally-regulated company subject to federal jurisdiction.

The Tribunal found that the respondent engages in regular and continuous transportation of goods beyond provincial boundaries, placing its operations under federal jurisdiction.

The application was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Antinello v. Cole Carriers Corp., 2016 HRTO 1155

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 31, 2016

Request to dismiss human rights application denied as applicant was not a party to prior LTB proceeding.

The respondent requested that the human rights application alleging racial harassment be dismissed under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing that the substance of the application was already dealt with in a prior Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) proceeding.

The LTB proceeding was initiated by the respondent's landlords to terminate his tenancy based on complaints, including one from the applicant superintendent.

The Tribunal denied the request to dismiss, finding that the applicant was not a party to the LTB proceeding and the LTB did not address the issue of racial harassment or any other Code grounds.

Carabineiro v. Bracey, 2016 HRTO 1158

Deferral of human rights application denied where applicant did not consent to union grievance.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal by her supervisor and the school board.

The personal respondent and the union requested that the Tribunal defer the application pending the resolution of related grievances filed by the union.

The applicant opposed the deferral, stating she did not consent to or have knowledge of the grievance filed on her behalf.

The Tribunal denied the deferral request, finding it inappropriate to defer the application for a grievance the applicant did not initiate or consent to.

The Tribunal directed the matter to proceed to mediation.

Allen v. Toronto District School Board, 2016 HRTO 1149

Samantha Seabrook

6 cases2012–2016

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 30, 2016

Request to nullify human rights settlement denied; applicant failed to prove incapacity or duress.

The applicant sought to nullify a settlement agreement reached during a Tribunal mediation, arguing he did not understand what he was signing due to cognitive disabilities and that the mediator pressured him into signing.

The Tribunal held a preliminary hearing and found that the applicant failed to meet the high threshold required to set aside a settlement.

The evidence showed the applicant understood the key terms and the consequences of signing, and the pressure experienced during mediation did not amount to duress.

The request to nullify the settlement was denied.

Alexander v. Iron Mountain Incorporated, 2016 HRTO 1148

Thomas McRae

4 cases2016–2024

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 30, 2016

Human rights application dismissed because interprovincial shipping company falls under federal jurisdiction.

The applicant filed a human rights application against his former employer, an interprovincial and international bulk shipping company.

The respondent requested that the application be dismissed because its operations fall under federal jurisdiction pursuant to the Constitution Act, 1867.

The Tribunal agreed, finding that the respondent is subject to the Canadian Human Rights Act rather than the Ontario Human Rights Code.

The application was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Durant v. Rand Logistics o/a Lower Lakes Towing Ltd., 2016 HRTO 1152

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 30, 2016

Human rights applications dismissed as abuse of process due to prior full and final settlement.

The applicant filed human rights applications alleging discrimination, harassment, and unjust termination by his former employer.

Prior to filing the applications, the applicant and his union had signed a full and final settlement and release regarding a grievance over his termination.

The respondents requested that the Tribunal dismiss the applications as an abuse of process.

The Tribunal found that the release applied to the allegations in the applications and rejected the applicant's arguments that the settlement was signed under duress or was unconscionable.

The applications were dismissed as an abuse of process.

Iad Abdul-Rahman v. Ontario (Natural Resources and Forestry), 2016 HRTO 1151

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 29, 2016

Adjournment request denied as potential future scheduling conflict does not constitute exceptional circumstances.

The applicant requested an adjournment of a scheduled summary hearing before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, citing a potential scheduling conflict with a pending civil lawsuit against the respondents.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the mere possibility of a future scheduling conflict did not constitute exceptional circumstances required to grant an adjournment under the Tribunal's Practice Direction.

Adams v. SNC - Lavalin Operations and Maintenance Inc., 2016 HRTO 1147

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

Tanya Francis v. Gap (Canada) Inc., 2016 HRTO 1145

Geoff Jeffery

2 cases2009–2016

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 23, 2016

Human rights application dismissed; gender expression does not protect cisgender men acting in stereotypically male ways.

The applicant alleged discrimination on the basis of disability and gender expression, as well as reprisal, after the respondent walk-in clinic denied him access to his medical records, prohibited him from video recording staff, and banned him from the clinic.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing and dismissed the application for having no reasonable prospect of success.

The Tribunal found no evidence linking the clinic's actions to the applicant's disability, determined that the ground of gender expression does not protect cisgender men expressing themselves in stereotypically male ways, and concluded that filing a privacy complaint is not a protected right under the Human Rights Code.

Curtis Barksey v. Four Corners Medical Walk In Clinic/Northwood Medical Clinics Inc., 2016 HRTO 1116

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 16, 2016

Request for reconsideration dismissed as the challenged interim decision was not a final decision.

The applicant requested a reconsideration of an interim decision that denied a request to amend the application.

The Tribunal dismissed the request for reconsideration, finding that the interim decision was not a final decision that disposed of central issues in the complaint, and therefore could not be the subject of a reconsideration request under Rule 26.1.

Anton Bonnici on behalf of Emy Bonnici v. Loblaws Inc., 2016 HRTO 1094

Tony Delville v. City of Hamilton, 2016 HRTO 1097

Paul Hosack

6 cases1999–2017

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 4, 2016

Request to dismiss human rights application denied; prior WSIB and ESA matters did not address discrimination.

The respondent requested that the human rights application be dismissed under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing that the substance of the application had been dealt with by the WSIB's closure of the applicant's work transition plan and an Employment Standards Officer's decision regarding termination and severance pay.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the WSIB's administrative closure was not a 'proceeding' and did not address the discrimination allegations, and that the ESA decision dealt only with statutory pay entitlements, not the human rights claims.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability (colourblindness).

The respondent requested an interim order for access to the applicant's Occupational Health and Claims Management file, arguing it was necessary to meaningfully respond to the allegations.

The Tribunal also granted the respondent a 35-day extension of time to file its Response.

Adjournment request denied; lack of preparation is not an extraordinary circumstance.

The self-represented applicant requested an adjournment of the scheduled hearing on the basis that he needed more time to gather information for his case.

The Tribunal denied the request, noting that adjournments are only granted in extraordinary circumstances and that a party's lack of preparation does not meet this threshold.

The Tribunal also issued directions for pre-hearing disclosure.
