The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability.
The respondent argued the application was an abuse of process because the parties had previously settled an identical application at mediation, where the applicant signed a full and final release in exchange for a significant monetary payment.
The applicant sought to set aside the settlement, alleging she signed it under duress due to the mediator's conduct.
The Tribunal found no evidence of duress or coercion of the applicant's will, concluding that the mediator's explanations of litigation risks did not constitute illegitimate pressure.
The application was dismissed as an abuse of process.
