Estate lacks standing to bring human rights application for discrimination allegedly occurring after individual's death.
The applicant estate filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability regarding the placement of a deceased police officer's name on a memorial wall.
The respondents requested early dismissal on the grounds that the estate lacked standing.
The Tribunal held that an estate is not a 'person' capable of experiencing discrimination under the Human Rights Code, particularly where the alleged discrimination occurred after the individual's death.
The application was dismissed for lack of standing.
Toronto Police Association granted non-party intervenor status to address disclosure and remedies affecting its members.
The applicant filed a human rights application against the Toronto Police Services Board and Mike Earl.
The Toronto Police Association (TPA) requested non-party intervenor status, arguing that the remedies sought, including reinstatement, and a request for disclosure of personal information about TPA members, could affect its collective agreement and members.
The applicant opposed the request, citing delay and potential disruption.
The Tribunal found no undue delay and granted the TPA non-party intervenor status to address the disclosure request and remedies as they may affect the collective agreement and its members.
