The complainant, who had bipolar disorder, was hired as a software program tester.
Shortly after starting, he disclosed his condition to his supervisor and began exhibiting pre-manic symptoms.
The employer terminated him ten days into his employment, claiming he misrepresented his ability to perform the job.
The Human Rights Tribunal found the employer discriminated against the complainant and failed its procedural and substantive duties to accommodate his disability, awarding damages and public interest remedies.
The Divisional Court upheld the Tribunal's findings on discrimination, accommodation, and damages, but modified some of the public interest remedies.
