Human rights application deferred pending the outcome of concurrent WSIB proceedings regarding the same accommodation issues.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability, claiming the respondent failed to accommodate his work-related injuries.
The Tribunal raised the issue of deferring the application because the applicant had a pending appeal before the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT) regarding the same modified work and medical restrictions.
Finding considerable overlap in the issues and with the agreement of the parties, the Tribunal deferred the application pending the conclusion of the WSIB/WSIAT proceedings.
