The applicant, a university professor, filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability, sex, and reprisal.
The respondent university's faculty association had also filed several grievances on behalf of the applicant relating to similar factual issues, including harassment and retaliatory discipline.
The Tribunal considered whether to defer the application pending the completion of the grievance proceedings.
Finding significant factual overlap and the potential for inconsistent decisions, the Tribunal exercised its discretion to defer the application until the grievance process concluded.
