The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal based on family status following her termination.
She also commenced a civil action for wrongful dismissal against the same employer.
The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intention to Defer the application pending the civil action.
The Tribunal found that while there was factual overlap regarding the termination, both proceedings were at an early stage.
The Tribunal declined to defer the application at this time, noting that deferral might become appropriate later if there is a real potential for concurrent decision-making.
