The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment.
The parties subsequently engaged in settlement discussions and agreed to a monetary payment of $1,200 in exchange for a full release.
The applicant signed the release, but later attempted to resile from the settlement because the respondents did not provide the settlement funds by a unilaterally imposed deadline.
The Tribunal found that the parties had reached a binding settlement under section 45.9(1) of the Human Rights Code.
The timing of the payment was not a negotiated term of the agreement, and the applicant could not void the settlement based on the missed deadline.
The application was dismissed.
