The applicant, an insurance broker, alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of disability after her employment was terminated while she was on short-term disability leave recovering from knee surgery.
The respondents maintained that the termination was the result of a corporate restructuring that began prior to the applicant's leave, driven by the acquisition of a new partner and client base.
The Tribunal found that the decision to terminate the applicant's employment was based on legitimate business reasons and that her disability was not a factor.
The application was dismissed.
