The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal in employment, raising the same issues of bullying, death threats, and termination that he had previously raised in an Employment Standards Act complaint.
The ESA complaint had been resolved through a settlement.
The Tribunal dismissed the application under section 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, finding that the settlement of the ESA complaint constituted a proceeding that appropriately dealt with the substance of the application, and allowing it to proceed would undermine the finality of litigation.
