The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal in her termination from Habitat for Humanity Greater Toronto Area.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success and whether it was barred under s. 34(11) of the Human Rights Code because the applicant had commenced a civil action seeking similar relief.
The Tribunal found that while there was some evidence that could support a claim against Habitat GTA, the application was barred by s. 34(11) because the civil action sought Code remedies based on the same facts.
The application was dismissed.
