The applicant requested to reactivate her human rights application, which had been deferred pending the completion of a related grievance proceeding.

The respondent opposed the request, arguing the application should be dismissed under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code because the substance was dealt with in the grievance.

The Tribunal found the grievance proceeding had concluded and the request to reactivate was timely.

The Tribunal ordered the application reactivated and directed the respondent to file its Response, noting that any s. 45.1 dismissal request would require an oral hearing.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discriminatory discipline by her employer.

The respondent requested that the application be deferred because the applicant's union had filed a grievance regarding the same disciplinary letters.

The Tribunal found that the central issues in the application would be addressed in the upcoming grievance arbitration.

To avoid concurrent proceedings and conflicting factual conclusions, the Tribunal deferred the application pending the completion of the grievance process.
