The defendant, Bombardier Transportation Canada Inc., brought a motion to compel the plaintiff, Nicole Barrette, to answer certain discovery questions and undergo an independent medical examination (IME) by a psychiatrist.
The plaintiff was terminated from her employment and is seeking damages for wrongful dismissal, alleged refusal to accommodate disability, and discriminatory conduct under the Human Rights Code.
The court granted the motion in part, compelling answers to most outstanding discovery questions and ordering the plaintiff to attend the IME, finding her mental condition was in question.
The court also addressed the scope of expert opinion and rescheduled the trial.
