Tribunal awards $3,500 for delayed accessible materials, reducing damages due to applicant's hearing misconduct.

Following a finding that the respondent university failed to provide reading materials in an accessible format to a visually impaired student in a timely manner, the Tribunal determined the appropriate remedy.

The Tribunal denied claims for tuition and medical expenses, finding the delay did not materially cause the applicant's failure to complete the program or her medical issues.

Applying the Arunachalam criteria, the Tribunal assessed damages for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect at $5,000.

However, the Tribunal reduced the award by $1,500 due to the applicant's misconduct in submitting a misleading medical report during the hearing, resulting in a final award of $3,500.

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioApr 25, 2013

Human rights application dismissed as abuse of process due to binding settlement reached by applicant's former counsel.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of race and sex after being dismissed without cause.

The respondent requested the application be dismissed as an abuse of process, arguing the parties had already reached a binding settlement agreement through their respective legal counsel.

The Tribunal found that the applicant's former legal counsel had agreed to all essential terms of a settlement, including a full release of human rights claims, and that the respondent was entitled to rely on the solicitor's authority.

The Tribunal concluded that a binding settlement had been reached and dismissed the application as an abuse of process.

Wang v. Evertz Microsystems Ltd., 2013 HRTO 694

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioApr 17, 2013

Tribunal awards $2,000 where workplace injury precipitated termination, even though dismissal was otherwise inevitable.

The applicant, a casual labourer for a landscaping business, suffered a fractured finger at work and reported it, resulting in a WSIB claim.

Shortly after, his employment was terminated.

The employer cited poor performance, lack of experience, and misrepresentations on his application form as reasons for termination.

The Tribunal found that while the applicant lacked the required experience and his employment would have been terminated regardless, the workplace injury precipitated the employer's decision to check references and terminate him at that specific time.

Therefore, the injury was a factor in the termination, violating section 5(1) of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal awarded $2,000 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, but no lost wages since the termination was inevitable.

Hamish Safdari v. Avant Garden Services, 2013 HRTO 644

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioApr 16, 2013

Application alleging sex discrimination for higher male bar cover charge dismissed for no reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant, a young man, alleged discrimination on the basis of sex after being asked to pay a higher cover charge than women to enter the respondent's bar.

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

Applying the concept of substantive equality, the Tribunal found that charging a lower cover charge for women (a 'ladies' night') does not perpetuate prejudice or stereotyping against men in the overall societal context.

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

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioApr 9, 2013

Reconsideration denied; respondents failed to prove they lacked notice of the hearing they missed.

The respondents requested a reconsideration of a Tribunal decision made after a hearing they failed to attend.

They claimed their former legal counsel withdrew without notifying them of the rescheduled hearing date.

The Tribunal found inconsistencies between the respondents' claims and their former counsel's communications, and the respondents refused to waive solicitor-client privilege to clarify the matter.

The Tribunal concluded the respondents failed to prove they did not receive notice of the hearing through no fault of their own.

The request for reconsideration was denied.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioApr 4, 2013

Seventeen human rights applications regarding municipal accessibility dismissed for lack of reasonable prospect of success.

The applicants filed 17 applications alleging discrimination with respect to services because of disability against the Town of Penetanguishene.

The allegations related to the slope of sidewalks, lack of sidewalks, disabled parking spots, and accessibility of various municipal facilities.

Following a hearing to hear the applicants' evidence, the Tribunal requested submissions on whether the applications had a reasonable prospect of success.

The applicants failed to provide the requested submissions or sufficient medical evidence to establish that their specific disabilities resulted in the alleged barriers.

The Tribunal dismissed all 17 applications, finding no reasonable prospect of success, delay, lack of jurisdiction, or abandonment.

Freitag v. Penetanguishene (Town), 2013 HRTO 554

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioApr 3, 2013

Human rights application dismissed as withdrawn and barred by concurrent civil action under s. 34(11).

The respondent filed a Request for Order seeking to dismiss the human rights application under section 34(11) of the Human Rights Code, arguing the applicant had commenced a civil action for the same alleged infringement.

Counsel for the applicant in the civil action subsequently advised that the applicant agreed to withdraw the human rights application.

The Tribunal dismissed the application as withdrawn and noted that, in any event, it was barred by section 34(11) of the Code due to the concurrent civil action.

Zanobia Chaudhary v. 2063849 Ontario Inc. - Hotel Indigo Toronto Airport, 2013 HRTO 539

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioApr 3, 2013

Landlord discriminated against prospective tenant by requiring direct payment of rent from social assistance.

The applicant, a recipient of ODSP benefits, alleged discrimination in accommodation after the respondent landlord terminated a lease agreement.

The lease required rent to be paid by direct deposit from ODSP.

When ODSP refused to make direct payments, the respondent decided not to rent to the applicant.

The Tribunal found that requiring direct payment of rent because the applicant was in receipt of public assistance violated section 2(1) of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal awarded $1,500 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, noting that the respondent would have ultimately refused the tenancy anyway due to a poor reference.

Mark Hart

Adjournment and disclosure requests denied; applicant failed to show exceptional circumstances for late adjournment.

The applicant requested an adjournment of a teleconference hearing scheduled to address the respondent's request to dismiss the application as an abuse of process due to an alleged settlement.

The applicant also requested disclosure of performance and bonus documents.

The Tribunal denied the adjournment request, finding no exceptional circumstances as the applicant had ample time to retain counsel.

The Tribunal also denied the disclosure request, as the requested documents were not relevant to the preliminary issue of whether a settlement had been reached.

Human rights application alleging racial discrimination and excessive force during police traffic stop dismissed.

The applicant, a Black woman of Jamaican origin, alleged discrimination by police officers during a traffic stop and subsequent arrest for a suspected breach of bail conditions.

She claimed the officers used excessive force, uttered racial slurs, and ignored her disability.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the applicant's evidence lacked credibility and reliability.

The Tribunal accepted the officers' version of events, concluding that the physical altercation resulted from the applicant resisting arrest and that there was insufficient evidence to prove race or disability factored into her treatment.

Human rights application dismissed as applicant had no reasonable prospect of proving interference with medical treatment.

The applicant alleged that the respondents interfered with his ability to obtain medical treatment for leg ulcers by instructing a home care nurse not to enter his unit due to a bed bug infestation.

The Tribunal required the applicant to provide a statement from the nurse.

The nurse's statement indicated that she conferred with her superiors and followed their directions not to enter, rather than being instructed by the respondents' staff.

The Tribunal found that the statement did not support the applicant's allegation and concluded there was no reasonable prospect of success.

The application was dismissed in its entirety.

Thomas Caster v. Hearthstone Communities Services Ltd., 2013 HRTO 456

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioMar 8, 2013

Reconsideration request denied as proposed new evidence could have been obtained earlier and was not determinative.

The respondent requested a reconsideration of a Tribunal decision finding that it had created a poisoned work environment for the applicant.

The respondent argued that new evidence, including text messages and evidence of a Ministry of Labour claim, warranted reconsideration.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the evidence could reasonably have been obtained earlier, was not determinative of the case, and in some instances, further supported the applicant's allegations.

The request for reconsideration was dismissed.

Human rights application dismissed for delay and lack of reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant, a long-term employee of the City of Mississauga, filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment based on colour and age.

The respondent requested dismissal of the application for delay and for having no reasonable prospect of success.

The Tribunal found that the allegations prior to 2008 did not form part of a series of incidents with the 2009 allegations and that the delay in raising them was not incurred in good faith.

For the remaining allegations concerning performance management in 2008 and 2009, the Tribunal concluded that the applicant failed to point to sufficient evidence to support a reasonable prospect of proving a nexus between the performance management and his colour or age.

The application was dismissed.

Human rights applications dismissed under s. 45.1 as substance was appropriately dealt with by CPSO.

The applicant filed human rights applications alleging that a physician and his staff discriminated against him and his son on the basis of disability by terminating the physician-patient relationship.

The respondents requested that the applications be dismissed under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing that the substance of the complaints had already been appropriately dealt with by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) and the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board (HPARB).

The Tribunal found that the CPSO and HPARB processes constituted another proceeding that appropriately dealt with the substance of the human rights allegations.

The applications were dismissed.

Griffith v. Hurst, 2013 HRTO 367

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioFeb 21, 2013

Human rights application dismissed as abandoned after applicant failed to maintain contact with the Tribunal.

The applicant filed a human rights application which was deferred pending the conclusion of a related civil action.

The civil action was subsequently dismissed for delay.

The Tribunal made multiple attempts to contact the applicant for a status update, but the correspondence was returned and the applicant's phone number was out of service.

The applicant failed to update his contact information as required by the Tribunal's Rules and failed to file a request to proceed within 60 days of the civil action's conclusion.

Consequently, the Tribunal dismissed the application as abandoned.

May v. Irving Tissue Corporation, 2013 HRTO 294

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioFeb 21, 2013

Human rights applications dismissed as abandoned after applicant failed to respond to Tribunal directions.

The applicant filed transitional applications alleging reprisal by the Ontario Provincial Police.

The applications were deferred pending the conclusion of related civil proceedings.

The Tribunal repeatedly requested status updates on the civil proceedings and warned the applicant that failure to respond could result in the applications being dismissed as abandoned.

After the applicant failed to respond to the Tribunal's directions for over two and a half months, the Tribunal dismissed the applications as abandoned.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioFeb 7, 2013

Human rights application dismissed as abandoned due to repeated failure to comply with disclosure obligations.

The applicant repeatedly failed to comply with his disclosure and pre-hearing obligations under the Tribunal's Rules, despite multiple reminders and warnings that his application could be dismissed as abandoned.

The applicant did not provide arguably relevant documents, a list of witnesses, or witness statements.

Consequently, the Tribunal dismissed the application as abandoned and cancelled the scheduled hearing dates.

Age discrimination application dismissed; respondent provided credible, non-discriminatory reasons for hiring younger candidate.

The applicant, aged 64, alleged age discrimination after being unsuccessful in a job competition for a full-time Fire Chief position.

The successful candidate was approximately 20 years younger.

The Tribunal applied a one-step circumstantial evidence test, rejecting the traditional three-step test.

The Tribunal found that the respondent provided rational, credible, and non-discriminatory reasons for its hiring decision, specifically that the successful candidate demonstrated a better grasp of current issues, proposed better solutions, and exhibited a more compatible, team-oriented management style during the interview.

The application was dismissed.

Gazankas v. Red Lake (Municipality), 2013 HRTO 198

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJan 28, 2013

Respondent's request to introduce further evidence after the close of the evidentiary phase denied.

The respondent requested permission to introduce further evidence after the evidentiary phase of the hearing had concluded, arguing that two issues regarding the duty to accommodate were raised as potential sources of liability that were not identified at the outset.

The adjudicator denied the request, finding that the respondent already had full opportunity to lead evidence on these issues during the hearing, including through its own witness and during the cross-examination of a medical expert.

Human rights application alleging housing discrimination based on disability and age dismissed at summary hearing.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in housing and services based on disability and age against March of Dimes Canada, Chatham-Kent, and the County of Lambton.

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

The Tribunal found that the applicant's denial of supportive housing by March of Dimes was based on her own admission that she did not currently require personal care assistance, not her disability.

Claims against Chatham-Kent regarding handrails were deemed premature and unsupported by medical evidence, and age discrimination claims regarding a seniors' building failed to show substantive discrimination.

Claims against Lambton for relying on the March of Dimes decision were also dismissed.

The application was dismissed in its entirety.
