The applicant filed a human rights application alleging disability discrimination in employment.
The facts of the application were also the subject of several ongoing union grievances.
The Tribunal, on its own initiative, requested submissions on whether to defer the application pending the completion of the grievance proceedings.
The applicant opposed deferral due to delay in the grievance process, while the respondent and the union supported it.
The Tribunal ordered the deferral of the application, finding it to be the most fair, just, and expeditious way of proceeding, consistent with its general practice where there is an ongoing grievance based on the same facts.
