The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of sex.
The respondent requested the application be dismissed because the applicant had signed a full and final release upon termination of her employment.
The applicant argued she signed the release uninformed and under duress.
The Tribunal applied the Pritchard factors and the test for economic duress, finding that the applicant received sufficient consideration and was not subjected to coercion of her will.
The Tribunal upheld the release and dismissed the application as an abuse of process.
