The respondent requested an order deferring the human rights application pending the conclusion of proceedings under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act regarding a workplace injury sustained by the applicant.
The applicant confirmed that he had only filed Intent to Object forms to preserve timelines and had not initiated any appeals that would overlap with the issues in the human rights application.
The Tribunal found that deferral was not appropriate because no overlapping WSIB proceeding had been initiated and denied the respondent's request.
