HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJan 16, 2014

Human rights application dismissed; employment changes were due to operational needs, not age or disability.

The applicant, an Early Childhood Assistant, alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of age and disability after her hours were reduced and her employment was ultimately terminated.

She also alleged that the personal respondent made discriminatory age-related comments, creating a poisoned work environment.

The Tribunal found that the reduction in hours and termination were legitimately based on operational changes due to the implementation of full-day kindergarten and the applicant's failure to register as an Early Childhood Educator.

The Tribunal also rejected the applicant's evidence regarding the alleged discriminatory comments, finding her testimony lacked credibility and reliability, and preferred the evidence of the personal respondent.

The application was dismissed.

Ledford v. Friendly Times Child Care Centre, 2014 HRTO 70

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJan 15, 2014

Reconsideration request denied; no reasonable apprehension of bias or error in summary hearing test found.

The applicant requested reconsideration of a previous Tribunal decision that dismissed certain aspects of her human rights application following a summary hearing.

She argued the adjudicator demonstrated a reasonable apprehension of bias and applied an incorrect legal test.

The Tribunal dismissed the reconsideration request, finding no reasonable apprehension of bias and concluding that the original decision correctly applied the 'reasonable prospect of success' standard for summary hearings.

The applicant's request to defer the matter pending judicial review was also denied as premature.

Taucar v. The University of Western Ontario, 2014 HRTO 63

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJan 15, 2014

Request for reconsideration denied because the underlying decision allowing an amended response was not final.

The applicant requested reconsideration of an interim decision that allowed the respondents to file an amended response, and asked that the reconsideration be heard by a different Vice-chair.

The adjudicator declined to recuse himself, finding no reasonable apprehension of bias in reconsidering his own decision.

The request for reconsideration was denied because the underlying decision was an interim decision, not a final decision that disposed of any central issues, as required by Rule 26.1 of the Tribunal's Rules of Procedure.

The Tribunal also admonished the parties regarding their uncivil communications and the improper sharing of without prejudice settlement discussions.

Moore v. Ferro & Company, 2014 HRTO 62

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJan 8, 2014

Contravention of settlement application dismissed due to lack of evidence of confidentiality breach.

The applicant filed a Contravention of Settlement Application alleging that the respondent breached the confidentiality provision of their Minutes of Settlement.

The applicant claimed that a Facebook post by a third party and an internal email sent by the respondent to its management team constituted breaches.

The Tribunal found no evidentiary basis to support the allegation that the Facebook post referred to the settlement or was communicated by the respondent.

The Tribunal also found that the internal email did not disclose the Minutes of Settlement.

The application was dismissed.

James LeClair v. Deplaedt Enterprises Limited, 2014 HRTO 29

Stacey Ball

5 cases2013–2015

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 20, 2013

Respondents permitted to amend Response shortly before hearing as no substantial prejudice or undue delay found.

The respondents brought a request to amend their Response shortly before the scheduled hearing of a human rights application alleging employment discrimination.

The applicant objected, citing the late timing and arguing the request should be barred by analogy to the one-year limitation period for filing applications under s. 34(2) of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal allowed the amendment, finding that the proposed changes largely provided particulars of matters already raised, could have been included in witness statements, and would not cause substantial prejudice or undue delay to the proceedings.

Moore v. Ferro & Company, 2013 HRTO 2106

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 18, 2013

Adjournment request denied; high volume of business work is not an extraordinary circumstance.

The respondent requested an adjournment of the scheduled hearing, citing an overwhelming volume of work in its disaster recovery business due to recent flooding.

The applicant opposed the request.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding that being busy with work does not constitute an extraordinary circumstance required to justify an adjournment under the Tribunal's Practice Direction, especially given the late notice.

Bonifacio v. Tristar Disaster Recovery Inc., 2013 HRTO 2096

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 13, 2013

Human rights application dismissed as abandoned after applicant failed to confirm attendance at hearing.

The applicant failed to comply with pre-hearing obligations under the Tribunal's Rules of Procedure and did not respond to a Case Assessment Direction.

After a request for an adjournment was denied, the applicant was ordered to confirm her intention to attend the scheduled hearing.

When the applicant failed to provide this confirmation by the deadline, the Tribunal cancelled the hearing and dismissed the application as abandoned.

Lam v. Suncor Energy Products, 2013 HRTO 2068

Jane Gooding

15 cases2009–2018

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 11, 2013

Request to dismiss or defer human rights application due to WSIB proceedings denied.

The respondents requested that the human rights application alleging discrimination in employment based on disability be dismissed under s. 45.1 of the Code, arguing that the substance of the application had been appropriately dealt with by the WSIB.

Alternatively, the respondents requested a deferral pending the completion of WSIB proceedings.

The Tribunal denied both requests, finding that the WSIB decisions did not address the substance of the human rights allegations, such as the failure to accommodate the applicant in her pre-injury position or adverse differential treatment.

The Tribunal also declined to defer the matter, as the ongoing WSIB appeals were not relevant to the issues before the Tribunal.

Johnson v. Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, 2013 HRTO 2054

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 6, 2013

Adjournment request denied and evidentiary sanctions imposed for failure to comply with pre-hearing directions.

The applicant requested an adjournment of the scheduled hearing due to unforeseen family matters but failed to provide further details when directed by the Tribunal.

The respondents opposed the request.

The Tribunal denied the adjournment, finding no exceptional circumstances to justify it at a late stage.

Additionally, due to the applicant's failure to comply with a Case Assessment Direction regarding pre-hearing obligations, the Tribunal ordered that she would not be permitted to call witnesses other than herself or introduce documents at the hearing.

The applicant was also directed to confirm her attendance by a specified date, failing which the application would be dismissed as abandoned.

Lam v. Suncor Energy Partnership Products, 2013 HRTO 2031

Stacey Ball

5 cases2013–2015

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioNov 28, 2013

Tribunal orders mutual document production regarding hiring process and mitigation in discrimination claim.

The applicant, a foreign-trained lawyer, alleged discrimination and reprisal in the hiring process at the respondent law firm.

In this interim decision, the Tribunal addressed multiple requests for orders regarding document production.

The Tribunal ordered the respondents to produce unredacted CVs, cover letters, and interview notes for candidates hired or interviewed for the relevant positions, as well as organizational charts and job advertisements.

The Tribunal also ordered the applicant to produce financial statements relating to his law practice for mitigation purposes, but denied the respondents' requests for the applicant's medical records and academic transcripts.

Moore v. Ferro & Company, 2013 HRTO 1972

Christine O’Donohue

4 cases2010–2014

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioNov 5, 2013

Request to dismiss human rights application based on prior WSIB decision denied.

The applicant alleged that the respondent failed to accommodate her disability, resulting in her termination.

The respondent requested dismissal of the application under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing that a prior WSIB decision finding the employer had not violated its cooperation obligations appropriately dealt with the substance of the application.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the WSIB decision did not provide any remedy or financial stake for the applicant and that it would not be in accordance with the parties' reasonable expectations for the WSIB decision to extinguish the applicant's human rights claims.

The Tribunal also ordered the respondent to produce various documents and information arguably relevant to the applicant's allegations.

McMurter v. Goodyear Canada Inc., 2013 HRTO 1858

Arthur Tarasuk

5 cases1994–2013

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 31, 2013

Request for further disclosure of medical records denied as applicant did not claim medical impact for earlier period.

The respondent requested further disclosure of the applicant's medical records pre-dating December 2011, arguing that the applicant's allegations of discrimination and harassment extended back to 2009.

The Tribunal dismissed the request, finding that the applicant was not relying on any medical evidence to support a claim for remedy arising out of alleged Code violations prior to December 2011, and there was no indication of prior psychiatric issues that would warrant further disclosure.

Vetharaniyam v. Timothy J. Tallon Sales Inc., 2013 HRTO 1841

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 25, 2013

Successful job candidate granted intervenor status in human rights application seeking instatement to his position.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment after being unsuccessful in a job competition.

The successful candidate requested intervenor status because the applicant sought instatement to the position he currently occupies.

The Tribunal granted the request, allowing the successful candidate to intervene to protect his personal interests.

Syed Hussain v. Ottawa Police Services Board, 2013 HRTO 1808

Leslie Frattolin

3 cases2012–2013

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 24, 2013

Tribunal orders production of co-worker performance metrics to assess whether termination for poor performance was pretextual.

The applicant, who alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of disability, brought a Request for Order seeking production of performance metrics for all employees on the respondent's campaign for June and July 2011.

The respondent argued the request was overly broad and irrelevant, maintaining the applicant was terminated during her probationary period for failing to meet performance metrics.

The Tribunal granted the request, finding the metrics arguably relevant to the applicant's ability to challenge the respondent's stated non-discriminatory reasons for termination and to assess whether they were a pretext for discrimination.

Ashley Cassat v. Sutherland Global Services Canada ULC, 2013 HRTO 1794

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 23, 2013

Tribunal awards $2,000 for age discrimination after finding age was a factor in employment termination.

The applicant, an 18-year-old high school graduate, alleged that he was subjected to age-related comments by the personal respondent and ultimately lost his employment because of his age.

The Tribunal found that the personal respondent made several age-related comments, including telling the applicant to hide his age from other trainees.

Although the Tribunal found that the predominant reason for the applicant's termination was the respondent's concern about his language skills, the applicant's age was at least a factor in the ending of his employment.

The Tribunal ordered the respondents to pay $2,000 as compensation for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, and ordered the personal respondent to complete an online human rights course.

Mohammed Irfan Ahmed v. Jirah Networks Inc., 2013 HRTO 1786

Jennifer Richards

37 cases2008–2019

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 18, 2013

Age discrimination application dismissed as applicant's evidence regarding manager's alleged ageist comment lacked credibility.

The applicant alleged age discrimination in employment, specifically claiming her manager stated he was only comfortable mentoring younger employees.

Following a summary hearing that dismissed other allegations, an in-person hearing was held solely on this comment.

The Tribunal conducted a detailed credibility assessment and found the applicant's evidence unreliable due to inconsistencies in her notes, timelines, and the unlikelihood of an experienced human resources manager making such an explicitly ageist comment without subsequent action by the director.

The application was dismissed.

Johnson v. Ontario (Government Services), 2013 HRTO 1767

Tribunal partially dismisses human rights complaints at summary hearing but allows 'paranoid' comment allegation to proceed.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment based on disability and reprisal.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine whether certain complaints should be dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.

The Tribunal dismissed the allegation that a respondent breached the Code by communicating directly with the applicant, finding no evidence that the respondent knew this violated an accommodation need.

The Tribunal also dismissed allegations regarding a short deadline and extension request.

However, the Tribunal allowed the allegation regarding a 'paranoid' comment to proceed and declined to remove the personal respondent.

Certain irrelevant paragraphs of the application were struck.

Taucar v. University of Western Ontario, 2013 HRTO 1725

Arthur Tarasuk

5 cases1994–2013

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 4, 2013

Tribunal orders partial production of applicant's medical records and respondent's harassment notes in discrimination claim.

In an application alleging workplace discrimination and harassment based on multiple grounds including disability, both parties filed requests for the production of documents.

The respondent sought the applicant's medical and psychological records, arguing she put her mental health at issue.

The Tribunal ordered the applicant to produce medical records from December 2011 onwards, balancing her privacy interests with the respondent's right to answer the case.

The applicant sought production of a letter, a security video, and harassment notes.

The Tribunal ordered the respondent to inquire about and produce the harassment notes if found, but could not order production of the letter and video as the respondent stated they no longer existed.

Applicant ordered to provide further particulars regarding alleged discriminatory comments in workplace harassment claim.

In an application alleging discrimination in employment based on ancestry, place of origin, ethnic origin, and disability, the respondent requested orders for particulars and the production of medical documents.

The Tribunal ordered the applicant to provide specific details regarding the alleged discriminatory comments, including dates, times, locations, and context, within 14 days.

The Tribunal also directed both parties to disclose arguably relevant medical documents once received from the respective medical providers and insurers.

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 19, 2013

Human rights application dismissed; police service could not safely accommodate probationary constable's severe contamination OCD.

The applicant, a probationary police constable, developed severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) characterized by a fear of contamination from blood and bodily fluids.

After several incidents where his condition compromised officer and public safety, he was placed on medical leave.

Medical evidence indicated his prognosis for returning to front-line duties was poor and he faced a high risk of relapse.

The respondent informed the applicant of its intention to recommend termination of his probationary status due to an inability to accommodate his disability without undue hardship.

The applicant subsequently resigned his constable position and accepted a civilian role.

The Tribunal dismissed the human rights application, finding that the respondent satisfied both the procedural and substantive components of the duty to accommodate, as the applicant's condition posed a serious health and safety risk that could not be accommodated in a front-line policing role.
