The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and failure to accommodate her disability, while concurrently pursuing a union grievance based on the same facts.

The respondent requested that the application be deferred pending the outcome of the grievance process.

The Tribunal granted the deferral, noting that proceeding with the application could lead to inconsistent decisions, and directed the parties to the Rules of Procedure for bringing the application back on after the grievance concludes.

The applicant alleged discrimination on the basis of race, colour, and age during a job interview process, claiming she was treated rudely and made to wait for several hours.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant admitted she had no evidence to link the respondent's conduct to a prohibited ground under the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding it had no reasonable prospect of success as there was no evidence of discrimination.

The applicant filed a human rights application but failed to comply with multiple Tribunal orders regarding disclosure and production.

The applicant and his paralegal representative failed to attend the scheduled Case Resolution Conference.

The respondents requested that the application be dismissed for abandonment and abuse of process.

The Tribunal found that the applicant's repeated failure to comply with deadlines, communicate with the Tribunal, and attend the hearing constituted both abandonment and an abuse of process.

The application was dismissed.
