Human rights application dismissed as out of time; waiting for grievance process is not good faith delay.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging age discrimination because his short and long-term disability benefits were terminated at age 60 under the collective agreement.
The application was filed approximately 10.5 months after the expiry of the one-year limitation period under the Human Rights Code.
The applicant argued the delay was in good faith because he was waiting for the conclusion of the grievance process.
The Tribunal held that waiting for another proceeding to conclude does not constitute a good faith reason for delay.
The application was dismissed as out of time.
Motion to dismiss or defer human rights application denied; prior grievance conciliation did not determine substance.
The applicant alleged age discrimination regarding the denial of disability benefits under a collective agreement after turning 60.
The respondent requested that the application be dismissed under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing that a prior conciliation of a grievance dealt with the substance of the application, or alternatively deferred under s. 45 pending collective bargaining.
The Tribunal denied the request to dismiss because the conciliation did not result in a determination of the substance of the application, as the grievance was withdrawn.
The Tribunal also denied the request to defer, finding no parallel proceeding underway.
Human rights application dismissed at summary hearing for lack of reasonable prospect of success and delay.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination based on marital status and reprisal against the Amherstburg Police Services Board.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found no evidence linking the respondent's actions to a prohibited ground of discrimination or an intention to retaliate.
Furthermore, the Tribunal determined that the applicant's allegations regarding the investigation of her criminal complaint were untimely and did not constitute a series of incidents under section 34 of the Human Rights Code.
The application was dismissed.
Immediate suspension of gaming registration confirmed pending outcome of child luring criminal charges.
The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario ordered the immediate suspension of the registrant's gaming registration after he was charged criminally with communicating with a person believed to be under 14 years of age for a sexual purpose.
The Board held a hearing to determine whether to continue the suspension.
The Board found that the serious nature of the allegations and the need to protect public confidence in the gaming industry justified the immediate suspension.
The Board confirmed the suspension order, directing that it remain in effect until the conclusion of the criminal matters and any subsequent regulatory action.
