The applicant sought judicial review of a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decision finding it discriminated against the respondent on the basis of disability by terminating her after she requested medical leave for breast cancer treatment.
The Tribunal awarded $20,000 in general damages and $2,640 in special damages.
The Divisional Court applied a reasonableness standard of review and found no error in the Tribunal's factual findings or damages assessment.
The application for judicial review was dismissed with costs awarded to the respondent.
