The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment based on race and colour against a taxi company and a personal respondent employed by Canadian National Railway (CN).
The Tribunal dismissed the application against the personal respondent, finding it lacked jurisdiction because CN is a federally regulated undertaking.
Regarding the organizational respondent, the Tribunal noted that the applicant's underlying allegations had already been investigated and dismissed by the Canadian Human Rights Commission and in a previous Tribunal application.
Consequently, the Tribunal ordered a summary hearing to determine whether the application has a reasonable prospect of success or should be dismissed under section 45.1 of the Code as an abuse of process.
