The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal on the basis of disability.
The applicant had also commenced a civil action against the respondents based on the same facts, seeking damages for wrongful dismissal and human rights violations.
The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss.
The applicant argued the application should be deferred because the respondents were moving to strike the civil claim.
The Tribunal dismissed the application, holding that section 34(11) of the Human Rights Code acts as an absolute bar to concurrent proceedings, regardless of the potential outcome of the civil action.
