The respondent requested deferral of a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment based on disability and creed, pending the conclusion of an ongoing workplace grievance-arbitration process.
The applicant and their union did not respond to the request.
The Tribunal granted the deferral, finding that the key issue in the grievances—whether the respondent disciplined the applicant because of his disability—was also the key issue in the application, and deferral would avoid adjudicative duplication.
