Following a finding that the applicant's employment was terminated due to her pregnancy, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario held a further hearing to determine the appropriate remedy.
The respondent objected to the Tribunal hearing further evidence, arguing it created a reasonable apprehension of bias.
The Tribunal dismissed the objection, noting its broad fact-finding powers under the Human Rights Code to ensure a fair and just process.
The Tribunal awarded the applicant $9,857.34 for lost wages and $15,000 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, plus prejudgment interest.
