HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 27, 2015

Applicant ordered to release internal medical records to allow respondents to file a meaningful response.

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

The respondents brought a Request for an Order During Proceedings seeking access to the applicant's medical documents held by the school board's Disability Management department, arguing they could not meaningfully respond without them.

The Tribunal granted the request, ordering the applicant to sign a consent form waiving confidentiality and granting the respondents an extension of time to file their Response until 35 days after the consent form is provided.

Hamilton v. York Region District School Board, 2015 HRTO 1142

Ken Bhattacharjee

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 27, 2015

Human rights application dismissed as abandoned after applicant failed to respond to early dismissal request.

The applicant filed an application under section 34 of the Human Rights Code.

The respondent filed a response requesting early dismissal on the basis that the applicant had signed a full and final release.

The Tribunal directed the applicant to file written submissions in response to the request for early dismissal and warned that failure to do so could result in the application being dismissed as abandoned.

The applicant failed to file submissions by the deadline.

Consequently, the Tribunal deemed the application abandoned and dismissed it.

Dolan v. Diageo Canada Inc., 2015 HRTO 1140

Ken Bhattacharjee

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 26, 2015

Human rights application dismissed as out of time because the nearly three-year delay was not incurred in good faith.

The applicant filed a human rights application nearly three years after the last alleged incident of discrimination, which related to his termination and a subsequent union grievance settlement.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss because the application appeared to be outside the one-year limitation period under section 34(1) of the Human Rights Code.

The applicant failed to provide a reasonable explanation for the delay.

The Tribunal found that the delay was not incurred in good faith and dismissed the application on a preliminary basis.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 17, 2015

Human rights application deferred pending conclusion of concurrent Landlord and Tenant Board proceeding.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging housing discrimination and reprisal.

The respondent requested that the application be deferred pending the conclusion of an ongoing proceeding before the Landlord and Tenant Board involving the same facts.

The Tribunal granted the deferral to avoid duplication of evidence and the possibility of inconsistent findings of fact and law.

Zawadowski v. CBC Investments, 2015 HRTO 1090

Ken Bhattacharjee

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioAug 17, 2015

Human rights application dismissed at preliminary stage for failing to connect police conduct to Code grounds.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination by the police with respect to services based on race and ethnic origin.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss because the application failed to explain how the alleged mistreatment was connected to a Code ground.

The applicant re-filed the same documents without addressing the Notice.

The Tribunal dismissed the application on a preliminary basis, finding it plain and obvious that the allegations were outside its jurisdiction as they were not connected to any Code grounds.

Voykin v. Ottawa Police, 2015 HRTO 1096

Human rights application dismissed under s. 45.1 as prior grievance settlement appropriately dealt with its substance.

The applicant, a teacher, filed a human rights application alleging gender-based harassment and discrimination by the respondent, her school principal.

Prior to the application, the applicant's union had filed grievances against the school board regarding the respondent's conduct, which were resolved through Minutes of Settlement that included $10,000 in human rights damages for the applicant and a growth plan for the respondent.

The respondent requested that the application be dismissed under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal found that the grievance proceeding appropriately dealt with the substance of the application and that it would not be unfair to dismiss it, as the applicant had received monetary and non-monetary remedies in the prior proceeding.

Rosalie Griffith v. Patrick Knight, 2015 HRTO 1075

Greg Bullen

Human rights application deferred pending conclusion of concurrent WSIB appeal regarding benefit reduction.

The respondent requested that the Tribunal defer the application pending the conclusion of the applicant's ongoing appeal before the respondent's Appeal Branch.

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

The application was deferred.

Tribunal grants uncontradicted request to add franchisor as respondent and reduce damages claimed.

The applicant filed an application alleging that the respondent franchisee discriminated against him on the basis of disability by using a discriminatory job application form.

The applicant brought a request for an order during the proceeding to amend the application to add the franchisor, Pet Valu Canada Inc., as a respondent, and to reduce the damages claimed.

The applicant alleged that the franchisor provided the standard form and directed its use.

As the request was uncontradicted, the Tribunal applied the test for adding a respondent and granted the amendments.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 29, 2015

Human rights application alleging disability discrimination in employment dismissed for no reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant, a software developer with a physical disability, alleged that the respondent terminated his employment after one month because of his disability.

The respondent argued that the termination was due to performance issues and the cancellation of the project by its funder.

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

The Tribunal found that the applicant's theory of discrimination was largely speculative and that there was no reasonable prospect he could prove a link between his termination and his disability.

The application was dismissed.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 15, 2015

Human rights application deferred pending conclusion of concurrent proceeding before the HPARB.

The respondents requested to dismiss or defer the human rights application on the basis that the facts and issues were currently before the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board (HPARB).

The Tribunal found that deferral was the most fair, just, and expeditious way of proceeding, as concurrent proceedings dealing with the same issues raise the possibility of inconsistent decisions.

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

Ken Bhattacharjee

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

Ken Bhattacharjee

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 3, 2015

Human rights application dismissed under s. 45.1 as prior Employment Standards proceeding dealt with the substance.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging she was terminated from her employment as a nanny because of her pregnancy.

She had previously filed an Employment Standards claim regarding the same termination, which resulted in an award for lost wages and general damages.

The Tribunal held a preliminary hearing to determine whether the application should be dismissed under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal found that the Employment Standards proceeding appropriately dealt with the substance of the application and that it would not be unfair to dismiss the application.

The application was dismissed to avoid relitigation of essentially the same dispute.

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJul 2, 2015

Human rights application alleging discrimination in hiring dismissed on preliminary basis for no reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant, a Black man originally from Ethiopia, alleged that the respondent discriminated against him on the basis of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, ethnic origin, and age when it excluded him from further consideration for a Java Programmer position after an initial interview.

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

The Tribunal found that the applicant's evidence, which relied on subjective observations about the racial composition of the waiting room and the interviewers' alleged shock at his appearance, was insufficient to establish a link between his exclusion and the prohibited grounds.

The application was dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.

Seyoum v. Evertz Microsystems Ltd., 2015 HRTO 883

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging employment discrimination.

Ken Bhattacharjee

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJun 16, 2015

Second human rights application dismissed as abuse of process for re-litigating previously dismissed claims.

The applicant filed a second human rights application alleging discrimination based on sex regarding the enforcement of a child support order by the Family Responsibility Office.

The Tribunal had previously dismissed his first application on the same facts as out of time.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing and dismissed the second application as an abuse of process, finding it was an attempt to re-litigate the first application.

However, the Tribunal declined the respondent's request to declare the applicant a vexatious litigant, noting he is a self-represented layperson and filing one further application did not amount to persistently instituting vexatious proceedings.

Ken Bhattacharjee

HRTO0 cases2008–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJun 5, 2015

Human rights application dismissed as untimely because the delay in filing was not incurred in good faith.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of race, origin, and disability following the termination of his employment.

The respondents requested a summary hearing to dismiss the application as untimely, as it was filed more than one year after the termination.

The Tribunal found that the last alleged incident of discrimination occurred on the date of termination, making the application approximately three weeks late.

The Tribunal rejected the applicant's arguments that the delay was incurred in good faith due to an acute stress disorder, union delays in processing his grievance, and his lawyer's delay in advising him of his rights under the Code.

The application was dismissed.
