The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability.

The respondent requested that the Tribunal defer consideration of the application pending the outcome of the applicant's civil action in the Superior Court of Justice, which involved identical facts and issues.

The Tribunal found that the civil action would involve consideration of the principal allegations in the application and ordered that the application be deferred.

The applicant filed an application alleging a breach of a settlement agreement reached in a previous human rights application and civil action against the respondent college.

The applicant sought to amend the settlement to add compensation for legal fees and damages against a personal respondent.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing and found it had no jurisdiction over the personal respondent, who had been previously dismissed from the matter.

The Tribunal further found that the respondent college had fulfilled all its obligations under the settlement agreement, including paying the agreed-upon sum.

As there was no evidence of a breach of the settlement or any link to a Code ground, the application was dismissed as having no reasonable prospect of success.
