The plaintiff, Pardeep Chodha, commenced an action in 2019 against the defendants for workplace injury, unlawful termination, unpaid wages, and allegations of forgery and defamation, following prior claims with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), Ministry of Labour, and Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO).
The defendants moved for summary judgment, seeking dismissal of the plaintiff's action.
The court granted the defendants' motion, dismissing the plaintiff's action on multiple grounds: WSIB's exclusive jurisdiction over workplace injury claims, the expiration of the limitation period for other claims, the application of res judicata and abuse of process to issues previously adjudicated by the HRTO, and the identification of improper defendants (non-legal entities and non-employers).
