Request to dismiss human rights application as untimely denied; allegations constituted a series of incidents.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging sex discrimination in employment.
The respondent Frost requested the application be dismissed as untimely under section 34 of the Human Rights Code.
The applicant argued the allegations, spanning from September 2007 to March 2011, constituted a series of incidents.
The Tribunal found that the applicant alleged a series of similar incidents against the same supervisor, the last of which fell within the 12-month time period prior to filing.
The Tribunal concluded the allegations related to a series of incidents within the meaning of the Code and declined to dismiss the application as untimely.
Internal workplace investigation is not a 'proceeding' under section 45.1 of the Human Rights Code.
The respondents requested the dismissal of a human rights application under section 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing that an internal Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Prevention Policy (WDHP) investigation appropriately dealt with the substance of the application.
The Tribunal denied the request, finding that an internal investigation does not constitute a 'proceeding' within the meaning of section 45.1.
The Tribunal also scheduled a conference call to address a separate request to dismiss parts of the application for delay under section 34 of the Code.
