INTERIM DECISION

Adjudicator: Michelle Flaherty

Date: December 16, 2010

Citation: 2010 HRTO 2506

Indexed as: Chandiwala v. Weston Bakeries

1This Application, filed under s. 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended, (the “Code”), raises allegations that the respondents discriminated against the applicant on the grounds of race, place of origin, and disability in the area of employment.

2A hearing has been scheduled for February 1 and 2, 2011. The personal respondent has requested an adjournment of the hearing and the applicant has consented to the adjournment.

3In addition, the applicant has filed a Request for an Order During Proceedings (“Request”) seeking the deferral of the Application in light of a Workplace Safety Insurance Board (“WSIB”) hearing, scheduled to commence on January 25, 2011. The applicant suggests that all outstanding issues between the parties may be resolved in the context of the WSIB proceeding.

4The other parties to the Application have consented to the applicant’s Request.

5In the circumstances, I am satisfied that consideration of the Application should be deferred.

6The hearing is adjourned. Consideration of the Application is deferred until the WSIB matter has been determined.

7The parties may wish to refer to Rules 14.3 and 14.4, which outline how the Application may proceed once the other matter has concluded.

8I am not seized of this matter.
