The respondents requested the removal of certain corporate and personal respondents from a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability, family status, and reprisal.
The respondents also requested that the application be deferred pending a WSIB proceeding.
The Tribunal removed three corporate respondents on consent but declined to remove the remaining corporate and personal respondents, finding that complex issues of fact and law regarding corporate liability following an asset sale should not be determined at a preliminary stage.
The Tribunal also denied the deferral request, noting there was no active WSIB proceeding and a WSIB decision would not resolve the human rights issues.
