The appellant School Board appealed a Divisional Court decision upholding the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario's finding that it failed to accommodate the respondent employee's disability and ordering her reinstatement.
The employee had developed a psychiatric impairment due to the stress of her position and was unable to return to her previous role.
The Tribunal found that the School Board failed to accommodate her by not placing her in available alternative positions.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the Tribunal's decisions on both liability and the remedy of reinstatement were reasonable and entitled to deference.
