Compliance order dismissed; vineyard's use of 'Prince Edward County' on website banner described location, not wine.
The Vintner's Quality Alliance Ontario issued a compliance order requiring the appellant vineyard to remove the term 'Prince Edward County' from its website banner.
The appellant appealed the order.
The Tribunal found that the term was used to describe the geographical location of the vineyard, which produces both wine and cider, rather than to describe a specific unapproved wine.
The Tribunal held that interpreting the regulation to prohibit a vineyard from stating its factual location would lead to absurd consequences.
The compliance order was dismissed.
Human rights application alleging creed discrimination by a church minister dismissed for no reasonable prospect of success.
The applicant filed an application alleging that the respondent, a minister at her church, discriminated against her because of creed when she was asked to leave the church.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's disagreements with the minister and her criticisms of the minister's performance were not linked to her creed.
The Tribunal concluded there was no reasonable prospect that the applicant could establish the necessary link between the respondent's actions and her creed.
The application was dismissed.
