Human rights application alleging racial discrimination in university promotion denial and performance appraisal dismissed.

The applicant, a Black physician and assistant professor in the Division of Cardiology, alleged that he experienced racial discrimination when the respondent University denied his application for promotion to associate professor and in a subsequent performance appraisal.

The Tribunal found that while the applicant established a prima facie case, the respondent provided a rational, non-discriminatory explanation for the denial of promotion, namely the applicant's lack of peer-reviewed publications and peer-reviewed funding as a principal investigator, as well as a teaching record that did not meet the 'very good' standard.

The Tribunal concluded that the evidence did not support an inference that the applicant's race was a factor in the promotion process or the performance appraisal, and dismissed the application.

Human rights application alleging gender discrimination in skilled trades hiring and reprisal dismissed.

The applicant alleged gender discrimination and reprisal in her employment with General Motors.

She claimed that men were preferentially hired into Tool & Die positions over her, despite her qualifications as a Mould Maker.

The Tribunal found that the hiring decisions were based on collective agreement provisions, preferential hiring rights, and specific trade qualifications, not gender.

The Tribunal also dismissed the reprisal allegations, finding no evidence that the discipline imposed on the applicant was intended as retaliation for her human rights complaints.

The application was dismissed.

Personal respondent removed from human rights application as corporate respondent accepted vicarious liability.

The respondents requested an order to remove Louise Korhonen as a personal respondent in a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability.

The Tribunal applied the Persaud factors and found that the corporate respondent accepted vicarious liability for her conduct, and there was no compelling reason to continue the proceeding against her personally as she was acting in a representative capacity.

The request was granted and the personal respondent was removed.

Wilson v. Work Able Centres, 2011 HRTO 1898

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioOct 4, 2011

Tribunal limits scope of human rights application to allegations raised in the original complaint.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination based on disability regarding her termination from the Director of Care position.

During the hearing, the respondents objected to the applicant raising new allegations concerning her placement in a Nurse Manager position and events occurring between her return to work from an accident and her subsequent sick leave.

The Tribunal ruled that these new allegations were beyond the scope of the original complaint filed with the Commission under section 53(5) of the Code, and therefore could not form the basis for an independent finding of discrimination, though evidence of these events might still be relevant context for the termination issue.

Tribunal orders production of employment records and permits self-represented applicant to testify in discrimination claim.

In a transitional human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability, marital status, and family status, the applicant requested the production of various documents.

The Tribunal ordered the respondents to produce job order position forms and commission reports for 2006 and 2007, finding them arguably relevant to the applicant's claim of differential treatment.

The Tribunal also confirmed the bifurcation of the hearing, permitted the self-represented applicant to testify despite procedural non-compliance, and directed the parties to exchange documents.

Union's failure to pursue a grievance regarding disability accommodation does not inherently violate the Human Rights Code.

The applicant alleged that his union discriminated against him with respect to employment and union membership because of his disability.

The applicant was denied a Team Leader position due to medical restrictions, and the union declined to pursue a grievance on his behalf.

The Tribunal found that the union did not participate in the formulation of a discriminatory work rule, nor did it impede the employer's reasonable efforts to accommodate, as no such efforts were made.

Furthermore, the Tribunal held that a union's failure to advocate or pursue a grievance on a human rights issue is not, in itself, a violation of the Code absent evidence that the union's conduct was based on discriminatory factors.

The application was dismissed.

Tribunal finds racial discrimination and reprisal were factors in school board's failure to promote applicant.

The applicant, a South Asian man, alleged racial and gender discrimination and reprisal after being denied a Superintendent position with the respondent school board.

The Tribunal found that while the predominant reason for not hiring the applicant—his lack of experience as an elementary school principal—was credible and non-discriminatory, the Director of Education's negative impression of his leadership style was influenced by racial stereotypes and his past complaints of discrimination.

The Tribunal concluded that racial discrimination and reprisal were factors in the decision, violating the Human Rights Code, though the applicant would not have been hired regardless.

The gender discrimination claim was dismissed.

Human rights application dismissed as abandoned after applicant failed to respond to Tribunal inquiries.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging employment discrimination and also commenced a civil action for wrongful dismissal.

The Tribunal deferred the application pending the outcome of the civil proceeding.

After several years of inactivity in the civil action and the applicant's repeated failure to respond to the Tribunal's inquiries regarding the status of the matter, the respondents requested that the application be dismissed for delay.

The Tribunal dismissed the application as abandoned due to the applicant's failure to respond to correspondence and deadlines.

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

The applicant filed a human rights application but subsequently made an assignment in bankruptcy.

The Tribunal issued multiple directions requiring the applicant or the Trustee in Bankruptcy to confirm their intention to proceed and to provide submissions on the applicant's authority to continue the proceeding.

After the applicant failed to comply with the final Case Assessment Direction or provide confirmation of a settlement or withdrawal, the Tribunal dismissed the application as abandoned.

Human rights application deferred pending the outcome of a related WSIAT appeal.

The respondents sought to dismiss the human rights application under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing its substance was already dealt with in a Workplace Safety and Insurance Board Appeals Resolution Officer decision.

The applicant had appealed that decision to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT).

The Tribunal deferred the application pending the final WSIAT decision, noting that proceeding with a preliminary hearing could lead to inconsistent findings or overlapping remedies if the WSIAT appeal overturned the underlying decision.

Request to remove personal respondents denied; applicant ordered to provide proper disclosure of remedies and documents.

The respondents requested the removal of two personal respondents from a human rights application alleging discrimination and harassment in employment based on disability, marital status, and family status.

The Tribunal applied the Persaud factors and found compelling reasons to continue the proceeding against the personal respondents, as the allegations related directly to their personal conduct.

The Tribunal denied the request for removal.

Additionally, the Tribunal addressed case management issues, directing the self-represented applicant to provide proper disclosure of remedies and documents, and proposing a bifurcated hearing process.

Respondent's request for an out-of-country witness to testify by phone granted.

The respondent requested that one of its witnesses, who resides out of the country, be permitted to testify by phone at the upcoming hearing.

The applicant did not file a response.

The Tribunal granted the request, finding that little prejudice would result and that the assessment of the witness's credibility regarding the reasons for the hiring decision would not be significantly impaired by phone testimony.

Tribunal disallows cross-examination on complainant's past criminal convictions and prior credibility finding due to prejudicial effect.

During a hearing before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, the respondents sought to cross-examine the complainant on his past criminal convictions for assault and theft, as well as a prior judicial finding regarding his credibility.

The Tribunal disallowed the questions, finding that the potential prejudicial effect of admitting such evidence outweighed its minimal probative value.

The Tribunal noted that evidence of past assault convictions could improperly influence the assessment of the complainant's propensity for violence, while past theft convictions and a 13-year-old credibility finding in a different context would be of little assistance in assessing credibility in the current proceeding.

A hearing was scheduled, but the applicant failed to attend and provided no explanation for his absence.

The respondents were in attendance.

The Tribunal deemed the application abandoned and dismissed it.

Human rights application alleging racial discrimination in commercial lease non-renewal dismissed for lack of evidence.

The applicant, operating a school for Somali-Canadian students, alleged racial discrimination after the respondent school board refused to renew its commercial lease.

The Board cited the need for the space for its own programs and a history of tenant complaints regarding the applicant's students.

The Tribunal found that the Board's reasons for non-renewal were credible, non-discriminatory, and based on legitimate operational needs and tenant conduct issues.

The application was dismissed as there was no evidence linking the Board's decisions to the applicant's race, colour, ethnic origin, or place of origin.

Human rights application dismissed; contract non-renewal was based on performance issues, not disability.

The applicant alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of disability after his fixed-term contract was not renewed.

He claimed the non-renewal was due to a slip and fall injury he sustained at work.

The Tribunal found that the respondents had initiated the process to not renew the applicant's contract for performance-related reasons before they were aware of any ongoing disability issues.

The application was dismissed as the disability was not a factor in the decision.

Interim decision granting adjournment, setting pre-hearing deadlines, and ordering disclosure of youth justice records.

The applicant filed human rights complaints against a school board and a police services board.

In this interim decision, the Tribunal addressed several preliminary matters.

The Tribunal reluctantly granted a consent request to adjourn the hearing, set new deadlines for filing pre-hearing materials including expert evidence, and ordered submissions on the removal of personal respondents and the scope of the complaint.

The Tribunal also proposed bifurcating the hearing and ordered the disclosure of youth justice records relating to the applicant's arrest, subject to conditions set by a Youth Court judge.

Human rights application alleging racial discrimination and harassment in employment dismissed for lack of evidence.

The applicant, a Black man of Haitian descent, filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and harassment in employment based on race, colour, ethnic origin, and disability, as well as reprisal.

He raised issues regarding coaching by a team lead, bathroom break policies, interactions with supervisors, and his ultimate termination for being 'not a right fit'.

The Tribunal found no evidence linking any of the employer's actions or the termination to the applicant's protected grounds.

The employer provided credible, non-discriminatory reasons for termination based on documented performance issues.

The application was dismissed.

Human rights applications dismissed as applicant failed to establish a disability requiring accommodation.

The applicant alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of disability against her employer, the LCBO, her co-workers, and her union.

She claimed that her request for a transfer due to criminal harassment by a customer was a request for disability accommodation, and that she was subjected to a poisoned work environment.

Following a preliminary hearing, the Tribunal dismissed the applications, finding insufficient medical evidence to establish that the applicant had a disability within the meaning of the Code at the material times.

The Tribunal also found that the transfer request was made on compassionate grounds and did not trigger a duty to accommodate.

Corporate landlords held liable for superintendent's homophobic harassment and failure to investigate tenants' complaint.

The applicants, a same-sex couple, alleged discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation by their apartment building's superintendent and property management.

The Tribunal found that the superintendent repeatedly directed homophobic slurs at the applicants, creating a poisoned environment.

The corporate respondents were found vicariously liable for the superintendent's conduct and directly liable for failing to investigate the applicants' formal complaint.

The applications against the personal respondent were dismissed.

The corporate respondents were ordered to pay $7,500 to each applicant for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, and to implement a human rights policy and training.
