The applicant alleged discrimination in employment on the grounds of disability and record of offences.
The Tribunal sought submissions on its jurisdiction over the 'record of offences' ground, as the applicant had only been charged with criminal offences that were later dismissed or withdrawn.
The Tribunal held that the statutory definition of 'record of offences' under section 10(1) of the Human Rights Code strictly requires a conviction for which a pardon has been granted.
Because the applicant was not convicted, the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction, and the allegations relating to that ground were dismissed.
