The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of age, race, and disability, culminating in his termination.
The respondent requested that the application be deferred because the applicant had already filed an appeal with the Ontario Labour Relations Board regarding an Employment Standards Act claim based on the same facts.
The Tribunal found that the two proceedings were virtually identical and raised overlapping factual and remedial issues.
The Tribunal ordered the deferral of the human rights application pending the conclusion of the OLRB matter.
