The applicant alleged discrimination based on marital status and association with a person of a certain race/place of origin in relation to obtaining mortgage financing for a new home purchase.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal dismissed the claims against the home builder, the warranty corporation, and the mortgage broker, as well as the claim regarding association with a lawyer of East Indian origin.
However, the Tribunal allowed the marital status discrimination claim against the mortgage lender to proceed, finding it had a reasonable prospect of success.
