The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination based on disability and ethnic origin, claiming the respondent sabotaged his WSIB claim.
The respondent requested the Tribunal defer the application pending the conclusion of the ongoing WSIB proceeding.
The Tribunal found that deferral was the most fair, just, and expeditious way to proceed, given the clear overlap in facts and issues and the potential for inconsistent findings.
The application was deferred pending the conclusion of the WSIB proceeding.
