The complainant, an aerobics instructor, was terminated from her employment at the respondent ballet school shortly after informing the directors that she was pregnant.
The respondents claimed the termination was due to her refusal to modify her program and sign a legal waiver absolving the school of liability.
The Board of Inquiry found that the termination was a direct result of her pregnancy, constituting discrimination under the Human Rights Code.
The complainant was awarded special damages for lost wages and general damages for embarrassment and mental anguish.
