The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and failure to accommodate a workplace injury.
The respondent requested dismissal under section 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing the substance of the application was already dealt with by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT).
The Tribunal found that the WSIAT had appropriately applied human rights principles in determining that the work offered to the applicant was suitable and in rejecting his claims of harassment and discrimination.
The application was dismissed to avoid duplication of proceedings.
