The applicant, a store manager, alleged that the respondent, an employee, discriminated against him by falsely accusing him of racism.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found that an accusation of racism, even if false, does not in and of itself constitute discrimination under the Code, noting that section 8 protects individuals asserting their human rights from reprisal.
The application was dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.
