The complainant alleged that the respondents breached a settlement agreement from a previous sex discrimination complaint by failing to hire her as a Traffic By-Law Officer.

She also alleged that the hiring process constituted a reprisal and that psychological tests administered during the process contained discriminatory questions regarding family status and handicap.

The Board of Inquiry dismissed the complaints, finding that the successful candidate was more qualified, that the hiring process was objective and not a reprisal, and that the psychological tests and interview questions did not infringe the Human Rights Code.
