Human rights application deferred pending conclusion of parallel civil action to avoid duplication.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging reprisal, claiming he was denied services at an emergency shelter in retaliation for an ongoing civil action against the respondents.
The respondents requested that the application be dismissed or deferred because the civil action sought overlapping remedies.
The Tribunal found that the civil action was active and the applicant intended to amend it to include the events alleged in the application, creating a risk of duplication.
The Tribunal ordered the application deferred pending the conclusion of the civil action.
Human rights application regarding rent recalculation dismissed summarily for having no reasonable prospect of success.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in housing on the basis of race, colour, disability, creed, age, and receipt of social assistance, stemming from a recalculation of his rent.
The respondents requested a summary dismissal, arguing the rent was recalculated in accordance with the Social Housing Reform Act after the applicant failed to report an increase in his income.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing and found that the applicant's allegations were based on unsupported assumptions and offensive assertions, with no link to Code grounds.
The application was dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.
