Request for early dismissal denied as concurrent civil claim did not seek human rights remedies.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in housing based on race, colour, family status, and receipt of public assistance.
The respondent requested early dismissal under s. 34(11) of the Human Rights Code, arguing that the applicant had commenced a civil proceeding in Small Claims Court based on the same factual context.
The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the civil claim did not seek human rights remedies or rely on Code-related claims, and therefore s. 34(11) did not apply to bar the application at this stage.
