Tribunal denies respondent's requests for summary hearing and deferral pending WSIB proceedings.
The respondent requested a summary hearing to dismiss the application alleging age and disability discrimination, or alternatively, a deferral pending a WSIB proceeding.
The Tribunal denied the summary hearing request, finding that the respondent's mere dispute of the applicant's allegations was insufficient grounds.
The Tribunal also denied the deferral request, concluding that the WSIB proceeding would not address the human rights issues of harassment and discriminatory termination, and any potential overlap in lost earnings remedies could be addressed by whichever body decided second.
