The applicant filed 58 human rights applications against various respondents, alleging discrimination and reprisal in discrete, everyday interactions.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the applications had no reasonable prospect of success, were an abuse of process, and whether the applicant should be declared a vexatious litigant.

The applicant failed to attend the hearing.

The Tribunal dismissed all applications, finding they lacked any factual basis connecting the respondents' actions to protected Code grounds.

Furthermore, the Tribunal found the sheer volume of applications, the applicant's failure to comply with directions, and the apparent intent to harass respondents constituted an abuse of process.

The applicant was declared a vexatious litigant and prohibited from filing further applications without leave of the Tribunal.

The tenant was evicted following a Landlord and Tenant Board decision terminating his tenancy.

He brought a motion for an extension of time to appeal the decision and for an order permitting him to return to the rented premises pending the appeal, citing language barriers as the reason for missing the deadline.

The Divisional Court granted the extension of time and permitted the tenant to return to the premises, subject to conditions including expediting the appeal and paying all rent on time.

The applicant union applied for certification to represent a unit of maintenance electricians employed by the respondent mining company.

The union argued that the electricians constituted a craft unit deemed appropriate under section 6(3) of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board reviewed extensive evidence of the union's bargaining practices across various industries in Canada and the United States.

The Board found that outside the construction and related industries, the union did not commonly bargain separately and apart for maintenance electricians.

Consequently, the union failed to meet the mandatory criteria of section 6(3) and was not entitled to a separate craft bargaining unit.
