Tribunal dismissed request for summary hearing and directed submissions on deferral pending related court proceedings.
The applicant alleged discrimination with respect to goods, services and facilities because of race, colour and citizenship after the respondent denied him permission to make alterations to his home in a heritage conservation district.
The respondent requested that the Application be dismissed under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code because the applicant was convicted under the Ontario Heritage Act for paving his backyard without a permit, or alternatively, that a summary hearing be held.
The Tribunal dismissed the request for a summary hearing and directed the parties to make submissions on whether the Application should be deferred pending the applicant's appeal of his conviction before the Ontario Court of Justice.
