The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination with respect to services because of disability, claiming a taxi driver refused him service due to his certified service dog.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine whether the application should be dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found that, accepting the applicant's allegations as true, there was some evidence reasonably available that could support the allegations of discrimination.
The Tribunal declined to dismiss the application and directed that it proceed to a two-day hearing to determine liability, including whether the respondent taxi company is vicariously liable for the driver's actions.
