The applicant filed a human rights application alleging age discrimination after she was laid off and a younger, less experienced co-worker was hired permanently.
The respondents requested a summary hearing to dismiss the application for having no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found that the applicant could potentially establish a prima facie case of discrimination and that there were disputed facts regarding her performance and the personnel agency's knowledge of the alleged discrimination.
The request to dismiss the application was denied, and the matter was ordered to proceed to a full hearing.
