HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 15, 2016

Human rights applications consolidated; preliminary dismissal denied as LTB did not address discrimination allegations.

The applicants filed separate human rights applications alleging discrimination in housing by the respondents.

The respondents requested preliminary dismissal under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing that prior Landlord and Tenant Board proceedings dealt with the substance of the applications.

The Tribunal consolidated the applications to avoid a multiplicity of proceedings.

The Tribunal dismissed the respondents' request for preliminary dismissal, finding that the Landlord and Tenant Board orders did not address the allegations of discrimination.

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 15, 2016

Human rights application deferred pending conclusion of concurrent grievance proceeding regarding employment termination.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging that his employment was terminated because of his disability.

Prior to filing the application, his union had filed a grievance regarding the termination, which was referred to arbitration.

The applicant requested that the Tribunal defer the application pending the conclusion of the grievance proceeding.

The respondent opposed deferral, arguing that the grievance did not raise human rights issues and that the Tribunal must first determine if the application was timely.

The Tribunal granted the deferral, finding that the grievance and application both related to the termination, raising the possibility of inconsistent decisions, and that the Tribunal has discretion to determine the order in which issues are considered.

The Tribunal agreed, noting that under s. 91(15) of the Constitution Act, 1867, banking is within federal jurisdiction.

The application was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

The respondent requested that the Tribunal defer the application pending the conclusion of an ongoing WSIB proceeding regarding the same injury.

The Tribunal found that deferral was the most fair, just, and expeditious way to proceed, given the clear overlap in facts and issues and the potential for inconsistent findings.

The application was deferred pending the conclusion of the WSIB proceeding.

The respondents requested the removal of three individual management staff as respondents.

The applicant requested to amend her application to add new allegations regarding a subsequent return to work process.

The Tribunal granted the request to remove the individual respondents, finding the corporate respondent was fully liable and capable of remedying any infringement.

The Tribunal denied the applicant's request to amend the application, finding the new allegations were different in nature and would cause significant delay to the scheduled hearing.

Ken Bhattacharjee

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 3, 2016

Human rights application dismissed as untimely; waiting for union grievance did not justify filing delay.

The applicant requested to reactivate his deferred human rights Application following the dismissal of his Duty of Fair Representation complaint at the OLRB.

The respondent requested that the Application be dismissed on a preliminary basis because it was filed outside the one-year time limit under section 34(1) of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal granted the reactivation but ultimately dismissed the Application, finding that the last alleged incident of discrimination occurred upon termination, making the Application late.

The Tribunal further held that the delay was not incurred in good faith, as waiting for the union grievance process to conclude did not justify failing to file a timely human rights Application.

After retaining counsel, she brought a Request for an Order During Proceedings to add a lead hand and a co-worker as individual respondents.

Applying the three-part test from Smyth, the Tribunal granted the request to add the lead hand, noting specific allegations against him, minimal prejudice, and the potential need for a specific remedial order.

The request to add the co-worker was deferred because the request had not been properly delivered to him.

Pamela King v. TMF Foods Ltd. and Jeff Porter, 2016 HRTO 1016

Ken Bhattacharjee

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 25, 2016

Tribunal consolidates human rights applications and adds a respondent, but denies request to add new discrimination allegations.

The applicants, who were tenants in a rental house, filed human rights applications alleging discrimination based on age and association.

They brought requests for orders during the proceeding to consolidate the applications, add a respondent, and amend the applications.

The Tribunal granted the request to consolidate the applications, finding common issues of fact and law and no prejudice.

The Tribunal also granted the request to add the respondents' father as a respondent, as there were allegations that could support a finding he violated the Code.

However, the Tribunal denied the applicants' request to add a new allegation of discrimination due to delay and unfairness to the respondents, though it permitted the applicants to rely on the underlying facts as evidence for their original allegations.

Sweeney-Tobin v. Ganeshalingam, 2016 HRTO 972

Ken Bhattacharjee

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 21, 2016

Request to reactivate deferred application denied due to failure to comply with Tribunal rules.

The applicant filed a Request for an Order During Proceedings to reactivate her deferred human rights application.

The Tribunal previously directed the applicant to re-file her request in compliance with Rules 14.3 and 14.4, as she had failed to provide the status of other proceedings, copies of decisions, or proper delivery to the respondent.

The applicant failed to respond to the Case Assessment Direction or re-file her request.

Consequently, the Tribunal denied the request to reactivate the deferred application.

The applicant also requested an adjournment.

The Tribunal ordered that the continuation of the hearing be audio recorded but denied the request for a transcript as the previous days were not recorded.

The Tribunal noted that directions regarding cross-examination had already been given and complied with, and that disclosure obligations had been met.

The request for an adjournment was dismissed.

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 11, 2016

Human rights application dismissed as untimely because applicant failed to establish delay was incurred in good faith.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination by her employer.

The respondent requested the application be dismissed on a preliminary basis because it was filed outside the one-year time limit under section 34(1) of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal found that the last alleged incident of discrimination occurred before September 22, 2014, making the September 28, 2015 application untimely.

The Tribunal also found that the applicant failed to establish that her delay was incurred in good faith, as her explanations regarding an abusive relationship, financial hardship, and unstable health were vague and did not explain her inability to file on time.

The application was dismissed.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJun 21, 2016

Human rights application dismissed as abuse of process due to prior binding settlement and release.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging reprisal, despite having previously signed Minutes of Settlement and a full and final Release resolving an earlier application against the same respondents.

The applicant argued the settlement should be set aside due to fraudulent misrepresentation, financial pressure, and depression.

The Tribunal found the settlement terms clear and unambiguous, rendering extrinsic evidence inadmissible.

The Tribunal also found insufficient evidence of economic duress or lack of capacity.

The application was dismissed as an abuse of process for attempting to re-litigate settled issues.

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJun 10, 2016

Human rights application against franchisor dismissed as it lacked day-to-day control over bankrupt franchisee.

The applicant alleged racial discrimination when she was denied the ability to sit and drink her coffee at a Bagel World franchise.

The franchisee subsequently went bankrupt, and the applicant sought to hold the franchisor vicariously liable.

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

Finding that the franchise agreement and evidence demonstrated the franchisor did not exercise substantial control over the day-to-day operations or employees of the franchisee, the Tribunal concluded the franchisor could not be held vicariously liable under section 46.3(1) of the Human Rights Code.

The application against the franchisor was dismissed.
