Human rights application reactivated and amended; respondents' request for summary hearing dismissed as premature.
The applicant requested to reactivate and amend her human rights application following the conclusion of another legal proceeding.
The respondents opposed the amendment and requested a summary hearing, relying on a settled grievance and section 45.1 of the Human Rights Code.
The Tribunal granted the request to reactivate and amend the application, finding it timely and without prejudice to the respondents.
The Tribunal found the respondents' request for a summary hearing premature, as they had not yet filed a full response and it was unclear if the grievance addressed all issues in the application.
Human rights application alleging race and age discrimination in firefighter recruitment dismissed at summary hearing.
The applicant, a transit employee and part-time firefighter, alleged discrimination on the basis of race and age after he was not hired for a full-time firefighter position.
During the recruitment process, the applicant was asked about his attendance at work on the day of his swim test, as he had called in sick to his transit job to attend the test.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing and found that the applicant had no reasonable prospect of proving a link between the respondents' actions and his race or age.
The application was dismissed.
