Tribunal rules that a bed bug infestation does not constitute a disability under the Human Rights Code.

The applicant filed a human rights complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of disability and age, primarily arguing that a bed bug infestation in his condominium unit constituted a disability.

The respondents requested a summary hearing to dismiss the application for having no reasonable prospect of success.

The Tribunal held that being a potential transporter of bed bugs does not fall within the definition of disability under section 10 of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal dismissed the majority of the application, including claims related to meal and housekeeping services, but allowed one allegation regarding interference with medical treatment to proceed pending the submission of a witness statement.

Human rights application alleging failure to accommodate, racial discrimination, and reprisal dismissed for lack of evidence.

The applicant, a Muslim employee of Egyptian origin, alleged discrimination on the basis of creed, race, ancestry, and place of origin, as well as reprisal.

He claimed the respondent failed to accommodate his Friday prayer requirements, that his manager showed favouritism towards South Asian employees, and that his placement on a Performance Improvement Plan and subsequent termination were discriminatory and retaliatory.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant's religious needs were appropriately accommodated, there was no evidence of racial discrimination or favouritism, and the performance management and termination were based on legitimate, documented performance issues.

The Tribunal also found the employer adequately responded to post-termination discrimination allegations.

Hearing adjourned due to applicant's family emergency and worsening medical condition.

The applicant requested an adjournment of three scheduled hearing dates due to the hospitalization of his parents and the worsening of his own medical condition.

The respondent consented to adjourning the first date but objected to the remaining two, noting the matter had already been adjourned twice.

The Tribunal granted the adjournment of all three dates, finding that proceeding with the remaining two dates would not expedite the completion of the hearing given the Tribunal's schedule, and acknowledging the extenuating circumstances affecting the applicant's health.

Union granted intervenor status in member's human rights application against school board.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) requested intervenor status in a human rights application filed by one of its members against a school board.

The applicant objected, arguing that his previous allegations against CUPE had been dismissed because he missed a summary hearing.

The Tribunal granted CUPE intervenor status to address matters affecting its members or its interests under the collective agreement.

The Tribunal also directed the applicant to file a formal Request for Order if he wished to pursue further documentary production from the respondent.

Tribunal resolves preliminary issues, limiting scope to specific sexual harassment claims and allowing criminal transcript use.

In an interim decision concerning a complex human rights application brought on behalf of temporary foreign workers, the Tribunal resolved several preliminary and case management issues.

The Tribunal clarified that only the sexual harassment claims of specific applicants were continued from the original consolidated proceedings, dismissing attempts to revive or amend other claims due to delay and lack of particularity.

The Tribunal struck portions of the applicant's detailed pleadings relating to previously settled wage claims and general living conditions, while allowing some context evidence.

The Tribunal also ordered the disclosure of materials from a related criminal proceeding against the personal respondent and permitted the use of the preliminary inquiry transcript as sworn testimony.

Breach of settlement application dismissed; parol evidence rule barred admission of statements made during mediation.

The applicant filed a breach of settlement application alleging the respondent failed to comply with a term designating her as the key point of contact and subject matter expert for a project.

The applicant sought to introduce evidence of statements made by the respondent during mediation to interpret the settlement term.

The Tribunal held that the settlement language was unambiguous and excluded the extrinsic evidence under the parol evidence rule, noting that admitting such evidence would undermine mediation confidentiality.

The Tribunal then assessed the documentary evidence and concluded the applicant had no reasonable prospect of success in proving a breach, as the respondent had formally assigned her the agreed-upon role.

The application was dismissed.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 13, 2012

Human rights application dismissed; regulator's refusal to intervene in accommodation dispute was jurisdictional, not discriminatory.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging that the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) discriminated against her based on her cognitive disability.

She claimed FSCO failed to intervene when a Designated Assessment Centre (DAC) refused to accommodate her request to have a facilitator present during a medical assessment.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that FSCO's refusal to intervene was based on its reasonable belief that the complaint fell under the jurisdiction of its dispute resolution process, rather than its Automobile Insurance Policy Unit.

The Tribunal concluded that FSCO's policy of intervening in physical accessibility complaints but not in assessment conduct complaints did not constitute constructive discrimination.

University discriminated against visually impaired student by delaying provision of accessible course materials.

The applicant, a university student with a visual impairment, alleged discrimination by the university and several faculty members regarding the accommodation of her disability in a consecutive education program.

The Tribunal found that the university's failure to provide textbooks and course materials in an accessible format in a timely manner amounted to discrimination under the Human Rights Code.

However, the Tribunal dismissed the applicant's other allegations, finding that her failure to successfully complete her practicum placements and course work was not related to her disability or a lack of accommodation.

Gamache v. York University, 2012 HRTO 2328

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 10, 2012

Human rights application dismissed at summary hearing for lacking a reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant, a college professor, alleged that the respondent, a fellow professor, discriminated against her by making derogatory remarks and inciting students to complain about her based on her race and colour.

The College had previously conducted an external investigation which found insufficient evidence to support the allegations.

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

Finding that the applicant's allegations relied on hearsay from students who did not corroborate her claims to the investigator, the Tribunal concluded there was no reasonable prospect of success and dismissed the application.

Request for reconsideration denied as applicant failed to present new, determinative evidence.

The applicant requested a reconsideration of a Tribunal decision that dismissed his human rights application against the respondent university.

The applicant argued that there were new facts or evidence, and requested that witnesses be recalled and previous evidentiary rulings be overturned.

The Tribunal found that the applicant was attempting to re-argue his case and did not present any new facts or evidence that could potentially be determinative and could not reasonably have been obtained earlier.

The request for reconsideration was denied.

Human rights applications dismissed as abandoned and for having no reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant filed four human rights applications alleging that inheritance and other cheques were stolen or withheld from her by various respondents, including shelters, government ministries, and Canada Post.

A summary hearing was scheduled to determine if the applications had a reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant failed to attend the teleconference hearing despite receiving notice.

The Tribunal dismissed the applications as abandoned.

Furthermore, the Tribunal found the applications had no reasonable prospect of success as they failed to link the allegations to any prohibited ground under the Human Rights Code or establish the respondents' responsibility.

The application against Canada Post was also dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, as it is a federally regulated enterprise.

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 24, 2012

Human rights application dismissed due to prior grievance arbitration and unexcused delay in filing.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination, sexual solicitation, and reprisal arising from a 2003 sexual assault by a co-worker and the employer's subsequent investigation.

The employer and the individual management respondent requested dismissal of the application.

The Tribunal dismissed the allegations regarding the employer's investigation under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, finding that a prior grievance arbitration had appropriately dealt with the substance of those allegations.

The Tribunal dismissed the remaining allegations regarding the sexual assault and the co-worker's subsequent conduct for delay under s. 34 of the Code, concluding that the applicant failed to establish the delay was incurred in good faith, as she had been capable of pursuing a WSIB claim, a police report, and an internal complaint during the same period.

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 12, 2012

Restaurant owner's racial and sexual comments created a poisoned work environment; $3,000 awarded.

The applicant, a former restaurant employee, alleged that the owner subjected her to a poisoned work environment through racial and sexual comments and conduct.

The Tribunal found that the owner made racially discriminatory comments about a former Black employee, implemented a Valentine's Day promotion that invited customers to kiss staff, asked the applicant an inappropriate sexual question, and sent a sexualized text message to her boyfriend.

The Tribunal concluded that these actions created a poisoned work environment contrary to section 5(1) of the Human Rights Code.

The applicant was awarded $3,000 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, and the respondent was ordered to complete human rights training and implement a human rights policy.

The claim for lost wages was dismissed as the applicant would have quit for non-Code related reasons.

Tribunal defers human rights application pending WSIB appeals and denies request for witness affidavit testimony.

The applicant requested a deferral of his human rights application pending the resolution of his outstanding WSIB appeals for loss of earnings benefits.

The respondent consented to the deferral after receiving further information.

The Tribunal granted the deferral, noting the overlap in time and issues between the WSIB claims and the human rights application.

The Tribunal also denied the applicant's request to have a witness testify by affidavit, finding no exceptional circumstances to justify departing from the requirement for in-person testimony on contested issues.

Employer discriminated against disabled DJ by denying full-time position due to 'optics' and engaged in reprisal.

The applicant, a disc jockey with a physical disability requiring the use of canes, alleged discrimination and reprisal by his employer.

The Tribunal found that the respondents discriminated against the applicant by denying him a promised full-time position and reducing his shifts because the club manager believed his disability negatively affected the club's 'optics'.

The Tribunal also found that the respondents engaged in reprisal by changing the applicant's shift after learning he had filed a human rights application.

The respondents failed to attend the hearing.

The Tribunal awarded $62,154.79 for lost earnings and $10,000 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect.

N.M. v. Toronto Police Services Board, 2012 HRTO 1824

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioSep 20, 2012

Respondent's request to dismiss allegations under s. 53(8) denied; applicant's document production request dismissed as premature.

The respondent requested the dismissal of part of the applicant's human rights application, arguing it was barred by s. 53(8) of the Human Rights Code because it raised issues from prior complaints filed with the Commission.

The Tribunal found that the re-drafted application did not attempt to re-raise the prior allegations and dismissed the respondent's request.

The Tribunal also dismissed the applicant's request for document production as premature, noting that the parties' disclosure obligations had not yet crystallized since a Notice of Hearing had not been issued.
