The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination by the respondents with respect to employment and contracts, including incidents involving conservation officers.
The respondents requested that the Tribunal dismiss or defer the application because the respondent Ministry was concurrently prosecuting the applicant in the Ontario Court of Justice for charges related to the same incidents.
The applicant consented to the deferral.
The Tribunal ordered the deferral of the application pending the conclusion of the proceedings before the Ontario Court of Justice to avoid duplication of evidence and inconsistent findings.
