The applicant, an Ontario Works recipient, alleged discrimination based on receipt of public assistance after the respondent refused to advance additional funds for an emergency shelter.

The applicant had failed to use his shelter allowance for accommodation due to a gambling addiction.

At a summary hearing, the applicant sought to add disability as a ground.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding no reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant conceded he was not denied anything because of his disability, and the respondent had previously offered direct payment of shelter costs and addiction counseling, which the applicant declined.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in services on the basis of disability after being prevented from taking his segway on specialized transit buses.

The respondent City of London requested to be removed as a party, arguing that the transit services are owned and controlled by the London Transit Commission, a separate corporate entity.

The Tribunal granted the request and dismissed the application against the City, finding no specific allegations or basis for liability against it.

The appellant, a police officer, appealed to the Commission alleging that his resignation was involuntary and amounted to constructive dismissal, having been obtained under the threat of criminal prosecution.

The Commission held that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the appeal because the appellant had voluntarily resigned to avoid a criminal trial, meaning there was no disciplinary decision to appeal.

Furthermore, even if there had been a decision, the appeal was filed outside the mandatory 30-day statutory limitation period.
