The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, ethnic origin, and family status.
The respondents requested the application be dismissed because the applicant had signed a full and final release upon her termination.
The applicant argued she signed the release under duress to obtain her Record of Employment and a reference letter.
The Tribunal found that the pressure the applicant experienced did not amount to duress and that she had been given seven days to consider the severance offer.
The Tribunal dismissed the application as an abuse of process.
