The applicant filed a human rights complaint alleging discrimination by the Law Society of Upper Canada and its employees based on family status and receipt of public assistance.
The complaint arose from the Law Society's handling of her complaint against a real estate lawyer and the denial of her claim against the Lawyers Fund for Client Compensation.
The Tribunal dismissed the application at a Case Resolution Conference, finding that it lacked jurisdiction to review the Law Society's discretionary decisions regarding the Compensation Fund and the complaints process.
Furthermore, the Tribunal held that the applicant failed to establish a prima facie case of discrimination, as there was no evidence that the Law Society's actions were affected by her family status.
