The applicant, a black teacher, alleged that workplace violence complaints filed against him by several co-workers were motivated by racial discrimination.
The respondents requested a summary hearing to dismiss the application for having no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal dismissed the application against several individual respondents, finding no evidence linking their actions to the applicant's race.
However, the Tribunal allowed the application to proceed against the school board and two individuals regarding the initial incident, as the applicant's allegations of disproportionate reaction could potentially support an inference of discrimination.
