Human rights application dismissed under s. 45.1 as prior grievance settlement appropriately dealt with the substance.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of family status after the respondent denied his requests for time off to assist his mother with medical appointments.
The applicant's union had previously filed grievances regarding the same issues, which were resolved through a settlement that provided the applicant with a cash payment and expanded family leave provisions.
Although the applicant refused to sign the Minutes of Settlement, he accepted the financial payment and the new leave provisions.
The Tribunal found that the applicant implicitly accepted the settlement and that the grievance proceeding appropriately dealt with the substance of the application.
The application was dismissed under section 45.1 of the Code as an abuse of process.
