The applicants, most of whom are Raeliens, alleged discrimination on the basis of creed after the respondent pub refused to allow them to host a 'mini-lecture' and asked them to leave.
The Tribunal found that the respondent had legitimate business reasons for refusing to host the widely-publicized event, as it had not consented to the publicity and was concerned about disruption.
However, the Tribunal found that the General Manager's comment that the pub did not want to be associated with their 'cult' constituted discrimination on the basis of creed.
The respondent was ordered to pay $100 to each applicant for injury to dignity and to require its managerial staff to complete human rights training.
