Jehuda Kaminer

The applicant alleged that her employer, the respondent, sexually harassed and assaulted her in the workplace, leading her to leave her employment.

The respondent did not dispute the allegations and had previously pled guilty to criminal harassment.

The Tribunal found that the respondent violated the applicant's right to be free from discrimination in employment on the basis of sex.

The Tribunal awarded the applicant $29,120 for lost wages and $30,000 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect.

The applicant requested an interim remedy to prevent the respondent from liquidating assets and a request to expedite the hearing, alleging the respondent was organizing his affairs to leave the country.

The Tribunal denied the interim remedy request but granted the request to expedite the hearing, noting the respondent did not deny the allegations in the application and the only issue in dispute appeared to be the appropriate remedy.
