HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 28, 2016

Corporate respondent ordered to disclose personal respondent's last name and address for service.

The applicant filed an Application alleging discrimination, harassment, and reprisal, naming an employee known only as 'Ko' as a personal respondent.

The applicant requested an order directing the corporate respondent to disclose the personal respondent's last name and last known address.

The corporate respondent objected on privacy grounds.

The Tribunal granted the request and ordered the corporate respondent to provide the requested information within 7 days.

Eva Yung v. 2317580 Ontario Inc. o/a Marcolino Bakery Delicatessen, 2016 HRTO 1003

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 28, 2016

Application dismissed; political opinion regarding candidate communication rights does not constitute a creed under the Code.

The applicant, a candidate for the 'None of the Above Party of Ontario', filed an application alleging discrimination based on creed after being excluded from two candidate debates.

He defined his creed as his belief that all candidates have the right to communicate with electors.

The Tribunal dismissed the application at a preliminary stage, finding it plain and obvious that political opinion does not constitute a 'creed' under the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal also noted it lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate stand-alone Charter claims or violations of UN covenants.

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 28, 2016

Tribunal denies respondent's request to dismiss for non-attendance at mediation and denies applicant's premature production request.

The applicant failed to attend a scheduled mediation, claiming he required early production of video footage as an accommodation to refresh his memory.

The respondent requested the Application be dismissed due to the non-attendance.

The Tribunal denied the respondent's request to dismiss, finding non-attendance alone is not a valid reason for dismissal.

The Tribunal also denied the applicant's production request, finding it premature, lacking medical support for the accommodation claim, and moot since the respondent confirmed no such video footage exists.

Mario Garisto v. Hudson’s Bay Company, 2016 HRTO 1002

Patricia Murray

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 28, 2016

Tribunal asserts jurisdiction over age discrimination claim regarding bank's credit card travel insurance.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging age discrimination because the respondent bank's credit card trip cancellation insurance is only available to cardholders under 65.

The applicant also filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Defer pending the CHRC's jurisdictional determination.

The Tribunal found that ancillary products offered by banks, such as travel insurance, fall under provincial jurisdiction.

Therefore, the Tribunal has jurisdiction and declined to defer the application.

Farquhar v. Bank of Nova Scotia, 2016 HRTO 991

Patricia Matusiak

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 27, 2016

Tribunal denies TTC's requests to dismiss discrimination application, hold summary hearing, and remove personal respondent.

The applicant alleged discrimination on the basis of race, colour, sex, and age after an altercation on a TTC subway train, claiming a transit enforcement officer used excessive force against him but not against a white individual involved.

The respondents requested the Application be dismissed as an abuse of process due to the applicant's prior conviction in absentia for causing a disturbance in the Ontario Court of Justice.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding the OCJ proceeding did not deal with the substance of the discrimination allegations.

The Tribunal also denied the respondents' requests for a summary hearing and to remove the personal respondent, as the allegations required evidence and the personal respondent's conduct was central to the case.

Shawn Amankwah v. Toronto Transit Commission and Jason Barber, 2016 HRTO 989

Lorenzo Policelli

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 27, 2016

Tribunal finds respondent breached settlement by failing to schedule specific accommodation duties; compliance ordered without monetary compensation.

The applicant filed a Contravention of Settlement Application alleging the respondent breached a June 2015 settlement agreement by failing to assign him scheduled escort and search duties as part of his disability accommodation.

The Tribunal found that the settlement language was clear and unambiguous in requiring these duties to be scheduled.

Although the applicant received his required working breaks, the respondent breached the settlement by not assigning the specific scheduled duties.

The Tribunal ordered the respondent to comply with the settlement but declined to award monetary compensation, finding the breach did not warrant it.

Wilson v. Ontario (Community Safety and Correctional Services), 2016 HRTO 990

Tribunal orders production of successful tenant's rental application with redactions in housing discrimination case.

The applicant alleged discrimination on the basis of race and colour after her rental application was denied.

She brought a Request for Order during Proceedings seeking production of the successful tenant's rental application.

The respondents objected on privacy grounds.

The Tribunal found the document arguably relevant to the allegations and ordered its production, subject to redactions for sensitive personal information such as Social Insurance Numbers and contact information.

Spiwe Mangoma v. Oros Investments Inc. and Joan Coburn, 2016 HRTO 987

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 26, 2016

Human rights application dismissed for lack of jurisdiction as the respondent is a federally-regulated telecommunications company.

The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination in employment against a telecommunications company.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss on the basis that the respondent appeared to be a federally-regulated employer.

The Tribunal found that telecommunications undertakings fall under federal jurisdiction and that complaints against such employers must be filed with the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

The application was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 26, 2016

Request to modify respondent name granted; request for early document production denied as premature.

The applicant in a human rights complaint brought a Request for Order During Proceedings seeking to modify the name of one of the corporate respondents and requesting early production of documents.

The Tribunal granted the request to modify the respondent's name.

The Tribunal denied the request for early production of documents as premature, noting that early production is only ordered in exceptional circumstances and the applicant could re-file the request after the mandatory disclosure stage under Rule 16.1.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 25, 2016

Request to add three related corporate entities as respondents to a human rights application granted.

The applicant, a temporary foreign worker, filed a human rights application alleging discrimination based on place of origin, citizenship, and disability.

The applicant brought a Request for Order During Proceedings to add three corporate entities as respondents, arguing they were related to the original corporate respondent.

Applying the Smyth test, the Tribunal found that the proposed respondents shared directors and addresses with the original respondent, and that allegations in the application could support a finding of a Code violation against them.

The request to add the respondents was granted.

Ben Saad v. 1544982 Ontario Inc., 2016 HRTO 976

Motion to dismiss human rights application denied; prior quasi-criminal Charter ruling did not preclude discrimination claim.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging racial profiling by police during a traffic stop, vehicle search, and subsequent reprisal.

The respondents sought to dismiss the application under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing the substance was appropriately dealt with when the Ontario Court of Justice dismissed the applicant's Charter motion during his Provincial Offences Act trial.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding the quasi-criminal proceeding only addressed the initial stop, not the subsequent search or reprisal allegations.

Furthermore, the Tribunal held it would be unfair to preclude the human rights claim given the significant differences in purposes, processes, and stakes between a quasi-criminal defence and a human rights application.

The Tribunal also granted the applicant's request for production of police training materials.

Briggs v. Toronto Police Services Board, 2016 HRTO 966

Human rights application alleging creed discrimination by a church minister dismissed for no reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant filed an application alleging that the respondent, a minister at her church, discriminated against her because of creed when she was asked to leave the church.

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

The Tribunal found that the applicant's disagreements with the minister and her criticisms of the minister's performance were not linked to her creed.

The Tribunal concluded there was no reasonable prospect that the applicant could establish the necessary link between the respondent's actions and her creed.

The application was dismissed.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 20, 2016

Tribunal asserts territorial jurisdiction over international cycling body regarding discriminatory licensing requirements imposed in Ontario.

The applicant, a transitioned female cyclist, alleged discrimination on the basis of sex regarding the imposition of anti-doping requirements as a condition of obtaining a race license.

The Tribunal held a preliminary hearing to determine jurisdiction, timeliness, and whether to add WADA as a respondent.

The Tribunal found it had territorial jurisdiction over the UCI, as it extensively regulates the licensing process in Ontario, but not over the IOC or WADA.

The Tribunal also found the applicant's claims regarding the denial of her race licenses in 2013, 2014, and 2015 were timely as a continuing contravention, but claims regarding the Stockholm Consensus were out of time.

The request to summarily dismiss the application for lacking a reasonable prospect of success was denied.

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 19, 2016

Human rights application dismissed as abuse of process due to binding full and final release.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging harassment and a poisoned work environment.

The respondents requested dismissal on the basis that the applicant had previously signed a full and final release covering the allegations in exchange for a settlement package.

The Tribunal held a preliminary hearing and found that the applicant had not established any valid reason, such as lack of capacity or economic duress, to set aside the release.

Proceeding with the application would constitute an abuse of process.

The application was dismissed.

Motion to strike reply denied; application amended to add social area of services.

The respondents filed a Request for Order During Proceedings to strike the applicant's Reply, arguing it improperly invoked a new social area (services) and reiterated facts from the Application.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding it more appropriate to amend the Application to add the social area of services, as it better reflected the allegations.

The respondents were permitted to amend their Response to address the addition.

Fenkam v. Le Collège La Cité, 2016 HRTO 939

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 15, 2016

Human rights application dismissed as abuse of process due to valid full and final release.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment.

The respondents requested dismissal on the basis that the applicant had signed a full and final release upon termination.

The applicant argued the release should be set aside due to mental health issues and duress.

The Tribunal found no evidence that the applicant lacked capacity to understand the agreement or that he signed under duress.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, concluding that proceeding with it would be an abuse of process.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 15, 2016

Tribunal proceedings are 'civil proceedings' under the Police Services Act, rendering police disciplinary documents inadmissible.

The applicant in a human rights proceeding alleging sexual harassment and reprisal sought production of documents from a related police disciplinary hearing.

The respondents argued the documents were inadmissible under the statutory privilege in s. 83(8) of the Police Services Act.

The Tribunal held that a human rights proceeding is a 'civil proceeding' within the meaning of s. 83(8), departing from previous Tribunal decisions.

Consequently, the requested disciplinary documents were subject to an absolute statutory bar and were inadmissible, with the exception of the initial complaint made by the Chief of Police.

Personal respondent removed from human rights application where organizational respondent conceded vicarious liability.

The respondents brought a request for an order during proceedings to remove the personal respondent, the President and CEO of Legal Aid Ontario, from the human rights application.

The applicant opposed the request, arguing the personal respondent was the directing mind of the organization.

Applying the Persaud factors, the Tribunal found no compelling reason to continue the proceeding against the personal respondent, as the organizational respondent conceded vicarious liability and the applicant sought no remedy that only the personal respondent could provide.

The request to remove the personal respondent was granted.

African Canadian Legal Clinic v. Legal Aid Ontario, 2016 HRTO 925

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 11, 2016

Request to amend human rights application denied as the proposed allegation was previously dismissed.

The applicant requested to amend his human rights application against Loblaws Inc. to add an allegation regarding discriminatory payments.

The Tribunal denied the request, noting that the allegation had already been dismissed at a preliminary hearing for having no reasonable prospect of success, and the applicant provided no new evidence to establish a link between the payments and the disability.

Bonnici v. Loblaws Inc., 2016 HRTO 905

Jo-Anne Pickel

HRTO0 cases2012–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 8, 2016

Reconsideration request dismissed as the challenged interim decision was not a final decision.

The applicant requested a reconsideration of an interim decision that denied an adjournment and directed that two applications be addressed at the same preliminary hearing.

The Tribunal dismissed the request, 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.
