The applicant, who has a mental disability, filed human rights applications alleging discrimination based on disability and creed, and reprisal.

She alleged that the respondents improperly administered a controlled substance to her while she was an outpatient, and that the respondents' counsel breached a previous Tribunal sealing order.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing and dismissed the applications, finding no reasonable prospect that the applicant could prove her Code rights were violated.

The Tribunal also declined the respondents' request to declare the applicant a vexatious litigant, though it cautioned her regarding future filings.

The applicant alleged that he experienced discrimination based on race, ancestry, ethnic origin, place of origin, and disability during an emergency room visit for an asthma attack.

He claimed the treating physician was dismissive and discriminatory because the applicant is Hindu and he believed the physician was a Goan Christian.

The Tribunal found that any tension between the parties was due to the applicant's intoxication and his denial of alcohol consumption, rather than any discriminatory animus.

The application was dismissed.

The applicant alleged that he was subjected to discriminatory treatment based on his age and place of origin (Egypt) while receiving treatment in the emergency department of the respondent hospital.

He claimed that the hospital staff's actions, including the manner in which he was addressed, the drawing of blood, and the administration of injections, were part of a scheme to harass him.

The Tribunal found no evidence to support the applicant's inferences of discrimination.

The respondents provided credible, non-discriminatory explanations for their actions, which were accepted as reasonable medical practices.

The application was dismissed.
