The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability after her long-term disability benefits were terminated by the respondent insurer.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal dismissed the portion of the application relating to the denial of benefits, finding no link between the denial and the applicant's disability.
However, the Tribunal allowed the application to proceed regarding allegations that a rehabilitation worker made harassing and demeaning comments related to the applicant's disability.
