The respondents requested that the applicant's human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability be deferred pending the conclusion of her related claim before the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).
The Tribunal declined to defer the application, finding that there was a potential for significant delay in the WSIB proceedings and it was unclear whether those proceedings would address the substance of the human rights allegations, including the reasons for the termination of the applicant's employment.
