Tribunal lacks jurisdiction over extra-provincial service discrimination allegations against a foreign corporate respondent.
The applicant alleged systemic discrimination based on race and ethnic origin against a Florida-based educational institute and its instructor, relating to courses taken in Ontario and other jurisdictions including New Hampshire.
In this interim decision, the Tribunal held that the applicant had standing to allege systemic discrimination on her own behalf.
However, the Tribunal determined it lacked jurisdiction over the allegations concerning the New Hampshire course, as the respondents were not based in Ontario and the services were provided outside the province.
The Tribunal also ruled on the applicant's document production requests, ordering limited disclosure of participant names from a Toronto course while denying broader requests as overly broad or irrelevant.
Human rights application dismissed at summary hearing as allegations of discrimination were merely speculative.
The applicant, a temporary legal assistant, filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of race, place of origin, marital status, and reprisal against a law firm and a staffing agency after she was not considered for a subsequent job opening.
The respondents requested a summary hearing to dismiss the application.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's allegations were merely speculative and accusatory, and there was no reasonable prospect that she could prove a link between the respondents' actions and any Code grounds.
The application was dismissed.
