The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination with respect to services because of disability.
The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Defer because the applicant had also filed a complaint with the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which was being appealed to the Health Professionals' Appeals Review Board (HPARB).
The Tribunal determined that the HPARB proceeding did not raise the same human rights issues, minimizing the risk of conflicting decisions.
The Tribunal ordered the application to proceed, conditional on the applicant providing updates on the HPARB appeal.
