The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment based on disability, alongside a Small Claims Court action for wrongful dismissal.
The respondents requested that the Tribunal defer the application pending the resolution of the civil action.
The Tribunal found that the factual basis, issues, and remedies sought in both proceedings substantially overlapped, and noted that the civil action was at a more advanced stage.
Consequently, the Tribunal exercised its discretion to defer the application until the conclusion of the civil action.
