The applicant alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of marital status, claiming her relationship with her common law spouse was a factor in her layoff.
The respondent maintained the layoff was due to a business downturn and a belief that the applicant had leaked confidential information to a competitor associated with her spouse.
The Tribunal found that the respondent's decision was based on its belief that the applicant had disclosed confidential information, not on the identity of her spouse or her marital status.
The application was dismissed.
