The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of disability in the termination of her employment.
The respondents sought early dismissal of the application, arguing that the applicant had signed a full and final release as part of a settlement agreement.
The applicant claimed she signed the release without reading it and attempted to retract it the next day.
The Tribunal found insufficient evidence to conclude that proceeding would be an abuse of process at this stage and directed that an in-person hearing be scheduled to hear further evidence regarding the circumstances surrounding the transmission of the release.
