Tribunal declines to defer human rights application pending parallel civil action involving different legal issues.

The civil action concerned the employer's vicarious liability for a co-worker's misconduct, which allegedly caused the applicant's disability.
The Tribunal found that the two proceedings did not address the same allegations and there was little risk of inconsistent findings.
The Tribunal declined to defer the application and directed the respondent to file a Response.
