The applicant, who identifies as Iranian, hired the respondent, who identifies as an Iranian Kurd, to perform home renovations.
The applicant alleged that the respondent provided sub-standard work and abandoned the project because of the applicant's Iranian identity, contrary to the Human Rights Code.
The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding no evidence that the respondent's actions were motivated by the applicant's identity.
The Tribunal concluded that the matter was a purely contractual commercial disagreement exacerbated by the lack of a written agreement.
