The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment based on disability, claiming the respondents failed to accommodate her return to work following a workplace injury.
The respondents requested a deferral of the application pending the conclusion of the applicant's WSIB proceedings.
The Tribunal denied the deferral request, finding that the WSIB proceedings concerned financial compensation for the injury and did not address the central human rights issue of accommodation.
The Tribunal also declined to strike medical documents attached to the Response and portions of the applicant's Reply, leaving those evidentiary issues for the hearing.
