The applicant filed human rights applications against his employer and union alleging discrimination based on disability (depression and dependent personality disorder).
The respondents raised preliminary objections.
The Tribunal dismissed allegations against the employer prior to May 20, 2010 as an abuse of process, finding they were resolved by a prior settlement agreement.
The Tribunal also dismissed allegations against both the employer and the union that fell outside the one-year limitation period, finding the applicant failed to establish the delay was incurred in good faith.
An allegation regarding a collective agreement provision was dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal declined to defer the remaining allegations pending a grievance process, as the grievance was deadlocked over the applicant's refusal to attend a substance abuse program.
The parties were ordered to file fresh pleadings for the remaining allegations.
