The applicant sought judicial review of a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decision finding he created a poisoned work environment through racial and sexual comments.
The Divisional Court found that the adjudicator's conclusions on two of the four allegations were unreasonable, particularly regarding the improper reliance on hearsay evidence to determine the content of a conversation.
As the finding of a poisoned work environment relied on the cumulative effect of all four incidents, the decision was set aside and remitted for a new hearing.
The court also struck down the systemic remedy requiring the applicant to notify former employees of a new human rights policy.
